This is the first time I have seen the flower of the Puya plant. It is a bromeliad and a native of South America ( I understand ) The plant only flowers every 5 years. I think the flowers are beautiful. Not only because of the very unusual colour but also because of the thick satin petals. The image does not adhere to the rule of thirds- I could have cropped it but I felt the colour balance in the overall image was worth holding on to. I quite like it / I hope you enjoy too /

This little succulent has lived in our patio for a few years now.
Image of me taken on the last day of chemotherapy for breast cancer. I celebrate my recovery by merging myself with a succulent plant. We both are tenacious, tender, and of course, succulent.
part of a ttv (through the viewfinder) series Theory: / TTV (Through The Viewfinder) photography is when you use an old medium format camera and a digital camera. / These old medium format twin reflex cameras have large viewfinders. Firstly you compose your image using the medium format camera (in my case i have used a mamiya c33) then you actually take the picture using a digital camera (here i use my pentax K10) of what is in the viewfinder of the old camera.
Yet another of my Dad’s succulents!

This is a Mosaic Aloe. Don’t think I can sell this one because I’ve named him “Toro”.
