This might not be in the spirit of the thread. It's the only recent flower I've taken.

I shall be documenting Spring flowers for the next few weeks. This might be an opportunity to share where the best sightings of magnolias, tulips and rhododendrons are.[IMG][/img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3626/3400608989_664f102452.jpg

I've yet to take a really decent flower shot, but I find it a great way to practice macro photography.

one i took today...

Ya think the colors in the pic are okay or did i saturate it a little too much?

don't really like flowers in general, once in a while one get's my attention, mainly if they are peculiar looking :rolleyes:

Catkins are very good and full of texture. Well done!

This set me thinking.

Is it essential to make crowd pleasing photos in order to get established?

I have met artists whose horror of pretty objects is understandable. They find it hard to find a wide audience, however.

It's worth sharing the Hivemind system again.
Here are some Spring Flowers, easily categorised in the search engine:

That is such a cheerful and uplifting photo of a daffodil.

Without wishing to quote photos, I noticed that you had tried to first upload the Photobucket version, using the full code.

The Boards system has an image upload feature (the symbol in the bar looks like a postcard with a stamp and two mountains on it and is the 8th symbol from the left).

I mention this because it took several weeks for me to work it out and this is the result:

Can anyone identify these please?

They're growing on the lawn and I've taken to mowing around them, I think posters in this thread will understand why.

Looks like a cow-slip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primula_veris

I know them as a cowslip, but to what there proper name is I have no idea

Primula veris, as Pft says:

http://books.google.ie/books?id=2MNBAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA125&lpg=PA125&dq=cowslip+flora+genus&source=bl&ots=ZDuW5dbUKy&sig=HHDjd8BohnCwXjKwPZpV4aOYfNw&hl=en&ei=WNX1ScG3LM-w-AbtxJW0Dw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2

I love them, though in fields they became weeds and have been much removed from the countryside.

democrates · 27-04-2009 04:54PM

Boards delivers

Thanks for that all, by the wiki pic cowslips are a spot on match, and special mention Anouilh - that book you linked to says you can make wine from cowslips!

Apologies for the over-exposure on the first one, here's another effort hopefully not bringing the thread into disrepute so badly:

I totally cheated by using a water sprayer for effect, if I were out in the field without it another measure springs to mind but at the risk of being pulled in by the fuzz.:D

Anouilh- Thanks very much for ur comment, Its after making my evening.
I dont know how I made the mistake uploading the photo, it was the 3rd time Ive uploaded a photo to Boards, it must have been the jet lag setting in.

First time for flowers. Three for c&c.

1. Dandelion with a bug on it

2. A white flower with another bug on it (anyone know what it is?)

I was running out of flowers to shoot in the garden so a nettle caught my eye
