All the Florida photos got me thinking about Hawaii and pictures I took at many botanical gardens there.

The foliage is what most attracts me to plants in general but flowers are also amazing. More from Hawaii.









But look how colorful foliage can be too.

Some awesome shots in this thread! The first one was on the side of a building in our complex. The second one was a bouquet I thought was so beautiful when I saw it at the supermarket.

Do you happen to live on that Island? My literary hero, Iain McGilchrist lives there. Tell him hello from Mark if you see him at the pub.

Nope - I just visit when I can! If I’m in a pub there it’s the Old Inn, Carbost.

I like pictures of animals in the wild, planes at an air show, pix of the Arctic with penguins and Orcas, unusual pix of any kind. I kind of tire looking at sunsets and flowers.

Are those onion flowers? There are many that get large which don't do very well where I am but I enjoy seeing them.

Here are some pics from my garden taken this morning. My garden is in a pink phase. As a guy, early on in my garden making I was a little phobic toward pink. Now it is just a color some shades of which I even like.

Those are some nice maple foliage! I don't grow many of those but a friend gave me this one called ‘Katsura’ about a year ago when it was out of leave this was it last February when it came back into leaf. Love it.
