I took the photo of the grass “plume” on a moody, windy day at the botanical gardens.
Made from a photo of a red Flax flower.

Janie Seddon, are we sharing the sweet morning mystery?
Featured in the group Black With a Hint of Colour in February 2009 Flax flower caught up in the glow of the brilliant sunshine! Effect of spot-metering on the flower creating a contrast with the background sufficient to effectively black out the background!
This was shot last summer in my back yard with a Nikon D80 . / /

A field of flax is something beautiful. This field was was just harvested, I thought I came too late, and I only found these forgotten by the farmer…
My Phormium (flax) plant has formed an unusual gathered ribbon effect on part of one blade. I think it has been formed by an insect folding the stem in half to make a nesting place within the layers. Canon EOS 450D, canon 28-105 lens, F/19, 1/60 sec / Hand held, taken in natural light.
Blue flax in my garden, So vibrant and beautiful. This one reminds me of the sky with the sun shining bright. /
Tawharanui Beach, Northland, North Island, New Zealand. The Māori name Tawhara-nui refers to “the abundant bracts of the kiekie vine”
One of the fields along the road – somewhere in Normandy, France, near La Londe. Half of the field was mown leaving the flax to dry out before they harvest. FEATURED: / Photographic France – September 2009
Inspired by the wonderful work, with premission, of LittleArty /
Canon PowerShot S5IS, taken AS IS Starling on New Zealand flax (phormium tenax). Since it was not raining today (first Saturday for ages when rain hasn’t been present or threatened), we decided to take a drive up to the Muriwai gannet colony ... I wanted to see if there were any chicks visible…and yes! there were, gannets sitting on their single egg, and some with a chick. And though I got some good images of the gannets, this is my favourite shot of the day…... a starling that methodically flew from flax to flax, gorging itself… had it been a tui I would have been in seventh heaven… but I’ll take the shot of the starling and be thankful! / The flax clung to the cliff slightly below the gannet viewing platform, the blue and white of the background is the ocean pounding on the rocks beneath. /
Tui – Native to New Zealand. It has a prominent white tuft at the throat and white patch on wing, middle of the back dark brown, otherwise black with variable metallic sheen. The bird song is beautiful and sometimes mistaken for a Bellbird. Its wings make a loud whirring noise especially when taking flight. / The Tui in this photo has pollen on its beak from feeding on the nectar from the flax flower. Canon 450D and Canon 70-300mm lens / Hand held in early evening light. / Shot at Mokihinui – West Coast NZ
