Waxy white beauty berries (Callicarpa species) ripening on a slender branch. Nature hedges her bets, not allowing all the seeds in the berries to ripen at once. Where one seed may fail, a later one may succeed. Photograph by Betty Mackey.
Each nicely capped flower of Abutilon (flowering maple) dangles like a bell and sways with the wind. I am using this image as a Christmas card. /

I love this photo. This photo was published in the Digital Photographer magazine! (Spring, 2009) It was also on display at Wassenburg Art Center in Van Wert, Ohio from October 5 – 31, 2008. This was taken in the early Spring. This is a pear blossom tree flower.

Magnolia (grandiflora?) in the late spring sunshine.
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.

Deep burgandy red day lilly blooming in my parent’s garden. It is back lit by the late afternoon sun highlighting the verigation in the petals and setting the little bits of pollen on the anthers aglow

My Grand Daughter…Pink/White Phalaenopsis Orchid provided by my wife Karo. / / !The generic name means “Phalaen[a]-like” and is probably a reference to the genus Phalaena, the name given by Carolus Linnaeus to a group of large moths; the flowers of some species supposedly resemble moths in flight. For this reason, the species are sometimes called Moth orchids. They are native throughout southeast Asia from the Himalayan mountains to the islands of Polillo Palawan and Zamboanga del Norte in the island of Mindanao in the Philippines and northern Australia. Orchid Island of Taiwan is named after this orchid. Little recent information about their habitat and their ecology in nature is available since little field research has been done in the last decades. / Phalaenopsis aphrodite (Moon Orchid) Most are epiphytic shade plants; a few are lithophytes. In the wild they are typically found below the canopies of moist and humid lowland forests, protected against direct sunlight, but equally in seasonally dry or cool environments. The species have adapted individually to these three habitats. Possessing neither pseudobulbs nor rhizome, Phalaenopsis shows a monopodial growth habit: an erect growing stem produces from the top one or two alternate, thick, fleshy, elliptical leaves a year while the older, basal leaves drop off at the same rate. The plant retains in this way four to five leaves. If very healthy, they can have up to ten or more leaves. The inflorescence, either a raceme or panicle, appears from the stem between the leaves. They bloom in their full glory for several weeks. If kept in the home, the flowers may last two to three months. Some Phalaenopsis species in Malaysia are known to use subtle weather cues to coordinate mass flowering.!
