Here are some bush flowers and some eucalypt sap that I shot this morning.

1. Not sure what flower this is , it may be a domestic one ?

2. some feathery fluffy flower/seed carrier. (Is this phart?)

4. Eucalypt sap. Looks more beautiful than rubies to me.

    Nice series-
    think #1 is an agapanthus.
    I use pharting as a term to describe a pic that has been significantly altered from the original in photoshop.

    Hi there Steve,

    I love that Orchid shot, it has quite a tongue on it.
    I like the angle you took the first shot at nod.gif
    Ahhhhhh got some perfect stars on your liquid amber clap.gif

    Orchid is my favourite, lovely shots Steve thumb.gif ... Skippy :D
