Moon Flower

Flower for the shift worker.
I planted this moon flower with the morning glories only to realize that they bloom opposite each other. One at night, the other in the morning. Beautiful though.

Closeup of Ruffly Orange Begonia

Closeup photo of a bright orange begonia on a black background.
I brought in some begonia blossoms after they'd snapped off from a heavy rain. I shook off the water and laid this one down on my desk to photograph. The photo turned out so nice, except for the fact that I'd set the blossom on a bunch of mail! Fortunately, I was able to erase the distractions and let the blossom speak for itself!

Blue Browallia

This is the first time that I've ever grown this flower. I bought five, but this is the only one that has survived. I'm not sure why...I guess I still have a lot to learn about this flower.

This is the first year we have had a real garden so I let my daughter plant sunflowers against the fence. They all ended up being over 14 ft tall and the largest flower is 18 in across.

Frog on dahlia
by Angela
(Richmond, BC)
Dahlia day spa
This Pacific tree frog climbed into a dahlia in my garden, and spent the day there. He was asleep some of the time, but did not fall out. These frogs have pads that enable them to climb and, apparently, to hang on to flimsy perches. He left at nightfall.

White Picotee Begonia with Hot Pink edges
I have four hanging baskets in my yard and each year I try different varieties of begonias. It's a flower that keeps on giving all summer long, with the most activity in color during the cooler days of Autumn. This is just one of my many favorite varieties.

This is the fourth year I've grown hanging baskets filled with begonias. For my shaded garden, they've been such a colorful treat. My favorites are Picotee Begonias with ruffled edges. This deep orange begonia was just too striking to ignore.

while weeding I was looking at my Dat's, when I spotted this green critter tucked inside the flower....I believe he is an Eastern Grey Tree Frog...I was very excited as I've never seen one before! Don't know if he ended up eating the fly or not....:)

Yellow Picotee Begonia w/ Orange edges
Every now and then there's a spot of sunshine in my shaded garden. Most of the time, the sun arrives in the form of a bright begonia in a hanging basket.

Cosmos with colour accent on centre
by Lee
(Syston Leicestershire, U.K.)
Cosmos
Taken at the gardens surrounding the Lake Side Walk adjecent to the Nottingham University in the U.K. (South Entrance). The flower is a Cosmos and I used a Canon G9 digital camera with the function Colour Accent to only accentuate the yellow centre. The original pink petals have been filtered out to appear black and white.
I hope you enjoy my photo. If I was to put an inspiration type title to this photo I would call it "Times may be dark but their is always light at the end of the tunnel".
