More Garden Macros

Anthurium

It's always fascinating for me to see the world through a macro lens and discover the array of perfect miniature patterns and textures not always detected by the naked eye.

Here is what I found when wandering through my garden the other day.

Strelizia

Spider Plant

Vinca

Seed Pods of Clivia Nobilis

Jade Plant

Strelizia

Haworthia Attenuata

Clerodendrum

And following me around, loving to hide in dark hidden corners is my ever present Minnie.



Thanks for your visit, and Hasta la Vista!

5 ~ Some Garden Photos

Some photos from my Tenerife garden taken a couple of years ago. The first two are of Strelizia Reginae and the second two are of the inflorescence bursting from the casing of an Archontophoenix Cunninghamiana.
The English name for this little tree native to Australia is Piccabeen Palm.









As the seeds unfold from their leathery case, they are a pale mauve which turns to pink and later a deep red as they mature.
This makes for a spectacular show, especially when there are seeds in different stages of development on the tree at the same time.
