Wild Flowers
I know nothing about wild flowers, but every now and then I am compeled to photograph some. I will start with a Himalayan Balsam (it has many other names), an Import apparently now considered a weed as it prevents other natural riverbank plants growing. A beautiful flower all the same, and a fabulous aroma reminiscent of fresh Peaches.
Like Birds they are very photogenic, and so much easier to photpgraph as they are rooted to the spot . Yes I do have a TF as well as the ZT, but I am married and quite definately heterosexual (the closest I have come to cutting hair is trimming my Testosterone infused beard) Last edited by DavidJ; 15th September 2007 at 16:50.. |

I find plants interesting to photo. I'm rubbish at remembering name of them though. I have a collection I keep meaning to identify.

Flowers with insect or water droplets on are always winners.

I don't think this is a wild flower but does anybody know the name of it?
