For twenty years or so I used to play the drums in various bands from Drum Corps to Rock Bands, until a couple years ago I broke my hand and had to give it up and started to take up photography instead. / Anyway, inspired by some images of drums and other instruments taken by Richard Veal I decided to dust off my old drum kit and see if I could make it an interesting subject. Thanks for the idea Richard : ) See my video on YouTube
Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Isopogon anethifolius Isopogon – from the Greek, isos, equal, and pogon, a beard, referring to the hairs that evenly cover the fruit; / anethifolius – from Anethum, a plant of the flannel flower family, and folium, a leaf (i.e. with leaves like Anethum) Isopogon anethifolius occurs in the coastal region and Blue Mountains of New South Wales and is one of about six eastern Isopogon species. The common name of Drumsticks alludes to the large knob-like fruits which are a feature of the bush. The bright yellow flowers are crowded in globular heads at the ends of branches in late spring and throughout the summer months. The fruit, of about 2.5 cm in diameter, persists on the plant for a considerable length of time. It is attractive, both on the plant and in floral decorations.

This beautifully backlit Isopogon anemonifolius (Broad-leaved Drumstick) was photographed along a track in the Diamond Head area of Crowdy Bay National Park, Laurieton, NSW, Australia, on a lovely spring afternoon. (I seem to be making quite a few backlit shots this spring. I think it’s due to the translucence and glow the light gives the subjects and in some cases how it reveals the inner structure of leaves etc). The flower’s position and the angle of shot I wanted negated the use of a tripod so I reverted to my old close-up technique of a high shutter speed to control highlights and camera shake, the tilt screen to frame the shot and my arms pushed forward so the camera strap is hard against the back of my neck for the optimum stability. This is a little more difficult than with my old Fuji due to the manual focus set-up but with practice it poses no problems.

Photographed in glorious soft morning light this developing Isopogon petiolaris (Drumstick) flower was nestled in the undergrowth soaking up the warm spring sunshine when I spotted it alongside the track. The shot was made at Diamond Head, part of Crowdy Bay National Park, Laurieton, NSW, Australia while on a Nature safari with three Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friends.

This unusual Aussie wildflower is a great example of Isopogon petiolaris (Drumstick) in bud. Each little yellow “trumpet” is a single flower growing from a round cone, hence the drumstick name. The buds form and begin flowering from the base of the cone and as the lower buds are pollinated or dry up, the next rows begin to flower. I was most fortunate to find this Drumstick before any of the buds opened. The photograph was made at Grant’s Head Nature Reserve, Bonny Hills, south of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on an overcast spring afternoon.

For Nick, just because one tedious night at work we decided that the world would be a poorer place if it didn’t have a porcine percussionist.
Wild Drumstick Tree – Moringa peregrina—Arabic name – shu, yasar, baan and others. Native to the desert mountains of the UAE. Apparently a number of uses—the saplings were roasted and eaten, the oil from the seeds may have been one of the most important ancient oils, and the residue of the crushed seed was used to “clean” water.

Has globular heads of fragrant white, cream or pink flowers in Spring and Summer. The flowers are followed by woody fruiting heads resembling small pine cones or drumsticks, hence their common name. Member of the large group Protaceae. This one is believed to the Isopogon dubius – Rose Coneflower, which is a 1.5m tall Western Australian shrub with grey-green leaves and purple-pink flowerheads around 20mm wide open. / Info Random House – Australian Native Plants Taken in bushland in Yarloop, between Mandurah and Harvey south of Perth in Western Australia
