Coleus / September 2007
Made in Apophysis 2.07 as usual. In the spirit of Spring’s arrival in the Northern hemisphere. Thank you for taking the time to view and comment. :)
Original was a photo of brightly colored Coleus, I only added Colored Pencil and a little saturation.
One of the seven varieties on my front porch, the name of which I have forgotten. I kind of have a thing for these plants—to me, they seem like summer poinsettias.
This is a small “slice” of my mother’s garden; she is a master gardener. Anything she plants thrives beautifully, and my father is just as good as she is. He saves watermelon and tomato seeds when he eats at restaurants, dries them, plants them, and harvests a good crop later on. What a wonder my parents are; truly their hearts are in the garden.
Pretty Coleus that seems to be growing out of a few large boulders. Photo taken in SW Florida

The coleus plant is Mama’s choice of a leafy filler between her zinnias, pentas, caladiums, begonias, and other flowers in her garden. She has a wide variety of coleus and this collage features their understated beauty. Each has a name which Mama knows, and each has its own unique loveliness.

Flower macros constitute this calendar for 2009. I tried to match flowers with months in which they grow here in Louisiana; I am not 100% accurate but I tried. Camellias in January; amaryllis in February; iris in March; calla lilies in April; bottlebrush in May; roses in June; the splendor of the entire garden in July; wild grass seed blossoming in August; lily of the Nile in September; tiger lily in October; chrysanthemum in November; magnolia in December. (I know magnolias do not bloom in December but it looked like a Christmas candle so I chose it for that month). Hope you enjoy the view. (This is the second of my Petal Power calendars. See the other one as well if you have time).

They say variety is the spice of life, so here’s something completely different than what I usually upload. I chose these 3 images for the triptych because of their different colors and variety in texture. Canon EOS 5D MkII / EF24-70mm 2.8L USM for all images. Green Leaves: / 1/500 sec @ f/7.1 ISO 100 Cactus: / 1/640 sec. @ f/10 ISO 100 Coleus leaves: / 1/125 sec. @ f/4 ISO 300 Shot in RAW and converted in Digital Photo Pro. Triptych work and all processing in CS3
