Nightbloomer, the camera I'm using is a Sony DSC-F717.
Macro shots can be tricky and you may have to change some of the settings on your camera to get better shots.
A few tips I can give are, try using a tripod and use the auto timer instead pushing the shutter by hand, use center spot metering for the autofocus instead of the multimetering, avoid using the flash whenever possible. outdoor shots are best taken early in the morning or later in the day or when it is overcast, light during those times is more soft giving you a better picture.

Yes the bushwacking has its positive sides :)

Okay I now found out that this one was H. camphorifolia GPS 8845 (Paul Shirley) and I think there was once a discussion about this one somewhere but can't remember anymore where and what it was about.
Attached is the foliage picture (had to use flash now :) and I'll check on the compendium once you have yours posted there Carol. Not much red yet on the leaves since I just moved it outside.
