For all you red lovers,

This is Molly Cummings, a plant I got from Logees a couple of years ago, deep blood red flowers that are impossible to photograph. Like velvet. The whitish cast is just the light reflecting off the petals, All red....

Such a great red!!
So Kyle, so you have to do your own watering in the GH you use?

That coleus down there is so odd colored. A really neat one. It is a new one to me.

wow that is truly beautiful

Now there's a bloom that says 'the tropics'!

What a terrific photo (and a beautiful hibiscus). What kind of camera are you using?

Beautiful bloom!!! Thanks for taking the time to share.

Judy

very nice....

Just amazing as most of your pictures are.

Kell I have to look up the name on the coleus, the white edged one at the bottom is the original, and the pink edged one next to it is a sport I started off the white one.This one sports a lot.

The camera is about 5 years old noe an Olympus D-340R 1 megapix I bought a 6 mp. one from Olympus about a year ago and hardy use it, this older one takes far superior pics. at least I think so.Have taken 1000;s of pics with it.

This variety is sometimes available from Logees. Thats where mine came from.

Thanks Kyle, I have a good Olympus too, it is only a year old but I am about to toss it because the colors never come true.

I can remember my parents buying plants from Logees when I was a small child (and I am no spring chicken). They have always had such a wonderful variety of plant material. Had the occasion to visit them a few years ago and walking around
their greenhouses was an amazing experience. I wanted one (or two or more, LOL) of everything.

Digital cameras have a hard time getting the colors true, sometimes I have to use photoshop to fix them until they are the same as real life.Maybe some day they will get the colors right, cloudy days change colors too.

:-)

I have had no problems except with flash or in real bright sun. I have a Olympus E-10

Kell the coleus is called "Missy Ann" I begged a grower in Chicago for a piece, now I have 3 forms of it after sports. first pic is the normal color.

Heres the pink sport of it.

No wonder Kell spotted it, it's PINK! Very cool.

Very cool, I agree! You are da man, Kyle! No doubt.
