Kim, the plant is indeed beautiful and is one of my most recent additions to my garden. I actually dug up other nice plants to make room for three I bought. I just hope it continues to do as well as it has so far. I have to admit that I had to take several photos before I obtained a fairly well focused photo. Thanks for your compliment about it. I love to share the plants that bring me so much pleasure and share the beautiful as well as amazing gifts that have been bestowed upon us.

I used a Sony Mavica: CD, 3.3 megapixels; set on macro, portrait and automatic focus. My camera has a Carl Zeiss lens which makes a world of difference in photo clarity as compared to the regular lenses I have on my other Sony cameras. The higher the number of mega pixels your camera produces determines the sharpness of the photo detail. Someday I will buy a new camera, but this one is okay for now. Below is a photo taken with my old Sony Mavica with 1.3 mega pixels (Macro setting) to show the difference in clarity. So I am not really that talented of a photographer, my camera does all of the work. :o) Thanks for your comments.
