Did you notice the smell of the Crassula flowers;)?

Aeonium ‘Kiwi’ never gets old and yours sure do look purty;). Mine look ok, but the sun is taking its toll on them. I’m not looking forward to winter, but I do love when Aeoniums look good again.

Your superbum look so different than mine. My plants have a flat appearence.

I will post some pics in a bit. I’ve got so many to go thru;).

I couldn't smell anything in the flowers unless I really used my imagination. Maybe the plant is too small.

I got the Kiwis as cuttings from my mom this summer. They've really grown and gotten color. I'm not a fan of Aeoniums, but these are pretty nice.

This is my outdoor superbum. I like the color a lot better indoors under lights. Most of the leaves get so dingy outside along with so many other graptos and verias. And splashing water on it really messed it up. I was so mad.

Is that the stupid lazy dog?! Lol! Love that photo, SLD.

sld, I'm glad the dog is still with you. We have our priorities. Nice Adenium too.

I was originally thinking current favorite plants. We could do all-time favorite photos too. I'd love to show some of those. I can see now my subject line is somewhat unclear.

Austin, OK let's do that since it's where the thread is going. I've kind of wanted to do that anyway. Mine were all current, but I'll be looking back.

I've posted my current fav plant too many times, lol. Here are some runner ups...

lol, Bunkfree, the white dog photo bombing my Adenium photo is more of a Smart but Crazy Dog. Here's the original SLD

Oldies but goodies from here.

My beloved E. milii x marlotti

& its recent progeny.

A graceful silhouette, suspected ID Rhipslais elliptica

leaf shape is so graceful.

My Sans. which looks ordinary enough except it grows in Hydro, Leca Stones & water, about 8 yrs. old now, started from a Single Leaf.

A Clerodendron I grow in memory of a late friend & Hoya Mentor. Never bloomed indoors, but handsome foliage.

Well if we're going back to oldies but goodies, here's a fav from 2005 when I was in the middle of my Clivia obsession

OK, favorite all-time plant photos - Part 1 of 2--succulents.

Aloe flowers

Lithops

Titanopsis seedling

Graptopetalum pentandrum suberbum - that one seems to come up a lot

Before it went outside and got all ugly

Haworthiopsis in the sun

stapelia kwebensis(?) flower

echeveria with a crab spider

A lot of my plants are so young, I have a thing for this Ariocarpus fissuratus that I purchased with an original tag dated in 96, so i guess you could say it's my favorite. but don't tell the other kids i'm picking ;)

I'm ooh-ing and ah-ing at all of the great photos so far.

Part 2 of 2 (unless more in the future)

Gymnocalycium

Sunflower

Such amazing photos to ogle! Wow.

i don’t have many quality photos on this new phone. My old phone had an utterly crap camera so nice closeups were pretty much a fluke LOL.

Coleocephalocereus in the afternoon sun

sld, all your photos are great. The Coleocephalocereus has great light, plant, topdressing, color, 'flow', and pot all coming together.

Thanks, Jeff :-)

don't get me started on insects jeff! They are the reason I got a macro lens in the first place :)

I'm not real thrilled with insects (sorry Paul), but if there's a camera between me and them, somehow it's like they're not really there.

Fly on a Coleus. Two light sources.

Austin, I was going to say that would be a good place for a cactus since it can get so hot, but maybe that would be dangerous.

Have you guys not seen the cactus garden planted in someone’s car?

I stumble across this pic every once in awhile when I’m looking at cactus pics online;).

That's a really nice little cactus garden--for a pot. At least those wouldn't hurt so much if anything happened.

A couple more that for some reason aren't on my computer.

Mammillaria bocasana

Rainbow Cactus

I'd love to see more. (Kara?)

I’ll try some closeups next time I’m actually home in the daylight LOL. I have a NOID aloe that I want to capture... so spiky and it looks faceted.

I’ve been meaning to repot this euphorbia for uhhhh ... several years :O

bunkfree, really nice plant and photos. I tend to concentrate on macros. I'm trying to do more of the whole plant photos.

Your photos are amazing Jeff, and cacti & succulents lend themselves so well to macro photography!

I have a cel phone and don’t use a tripod often... macro is just sort of not possible ;) Sometimes I’ll crop a small section that’s in sharp focus for a macro effect.

I used to have a “real” camera, Canon EOS. Sigh. I miss that camera quite a bit, actually.

bunkfree, thanks. I am often surprised by the decent photos that can sometimes be shot with a phone camera. All the aspects of light, angle, composition, etc. still apply. It's just that stinking wide angle lens that's the limiting factor, aside from macros. I'd like to give advice on that but would feel weird about it. Photography and plants are such a great combination.

Austin, that is a nice photo.

Some favorite phone photos.

Smudge on the lens apparently made for a soft focus effect on the top.

The naming of this isn't current.
