I wanted to join you all with your little bits of nature.

Species tulips only 3" tall:

Heuchera, 'Amethyst Mist':

And finally, does anyone recognize this?

Thanks guys. I think the third one, the one with the white and then maroon streaks is called "Centerfold". It was a Walmart's special, so you know.... The yellow one is pale yellow with a little more of a lemon color in the center. Its package, I think, said "Tiger lilium Yellow." Earthlydelights, your's are just gorgeous. Now I'm gonna hafta start trying to find "name" ones as pretty as yours. Ignorance was bliss, and cheaper! :)

The second time this question has come up today. I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5. All the pics were taken at full res (5 MP), although that is waaay overkill, as I had to shrink the sizes down. I just posted a bunch of pictures to the 'Insect' thread on the perennials forum, in case you are wondering why I wanted a camera with a nice zoom. F&T, the daylily is 'Carefree Peach'. I got it from Oakes a couple of years ago, and it is just a beautiful little plant. Suja

Thank you, the camera is a simple Canon Powershot Pro 1, it's basically a glorified point-and-shoot camera, haha. It's not SLR. I live in Central Florida Ericwi. So actually these photos are from back in late january/early february 09, amazingly. When the caterpillars start walking away from the plant to look for a spot to pupate, I will bring them inside and put them in an aquarium full of sticks.

Thanks, Kt.

Jean & Eric, you're both right it's Sedum, 'Voodoo'.
A ground hugging plant w/tiny rosettes that look much brighter in sunlight.

Well seen...I dug up a sedum from the wild part of the yard 2 yrs ago and just love it...It seems to end up falling apart n the middle so I'm going to try cutting it back after it gets about 12 inches...I've heard that when you do that to (anything they tend to bush more and not flop open)Don't know for sure..but since I know it'll come back it'll be worht a try!...Oh, I nearly forgot-Nice pics!

Thanks juanital and konrad.

Here's another pic I snapped today:
Stonecrop, 'Dragon's Blood Tricolor':

Well, this photo doesn't do justice to the plant. The colors are actually more intense. You have to get down on your hands and knees to appreciate the tiny quarter-inch rosettes.
