This is a picture of a Gerbera that I took when in full flower and I’ve been letting it dry out. I love the delicate petals and I had to be extremely careful when moving the flower around as it was coming apart – like dandelion spores!!
Found these seeds at the Botanical gardens at Mt Coot-tha. These seeds are no more than 1cm big. It’s got a great textural feel and looks like tiny roots covering the seed. I never had a chance to take note of what tree this came from as the mozzies were just about carrying me away! I just love my passion of macro photography. With the naked eye, it would be very hard to really see the detail in these tiny seeds.

Gardenia flowers have a beautiful sweet scent. The flowers can be white or yellow and are produced singly or in semi-double and double forms along or at the ends of branches. The perfume from this flower filled the house for almost a week – it was beautiful. This photo is currently featured in the group “Simply White” on RedBubble.
This insect eater uses sticky leaves to collect insects. Those ‘drops’ you see are quite sticky – not water at all. Drosera Capenesis is quite easy to grow. It does require lots of light and loves the Humidity. Featured in the Macro group – September 2008
