    Here are the yellow-green buds of the lizzianthus flowers from yesterday. Just a reminder, here is the original bouquet and one of the other lizzianthus flowers. x desleyjane

    Lizianthus 1

    I picked up a few small bunches of flowers and put them together for a number of photo shoots. I’ve photographed lizzianthus a few times, they are an intriguing flower – the buds are a green-yellow colour but the flowers are a gorgeous soft pink. Here are some shots, more to come. Oh, and the…

    Hyacinth in Lilac

    Being honest may not always get you a lot of friends, but it’ll get you the right ones. -John Lennon The final hyacinth post from the bouquets I picked up on the weekend. Here are the Fuchsia and Pink versions. x desleyjane

    Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom

    While waiting for a takeaway smoothie at a little cafe in Auckland (The Botanist), we browsed their little attached florist. I was quite fascinated by this weird pink flower. I think it’s some kind of Protea, but I’m sure someone can correct me here. Anyway, five minutes of shooting makes for a good RegularRandom –…

    These shots are from prior to surgery. I have photographed these before, but I have no idea what they’re called. A quick shoulder update – I’ve told some of you in comments, but I’ll update you properly here. Before Christmas, I saw the physiotherapist and I wasn’t able to do a lot of the movements…

    I think this is the last set of FoBE flowers that I have uploaded, and I’m not sure if I have anymore! It must be almost time to head back out for more photos! x desleyjane

  • A Pretty Pink Peony

    A Pretty Pink Peony

    Happy New Year! I took these photos of a very pretty pink peony late last year. It was while my Mum was still staying with me after surgery. My friend Tess (who also takes care of Gidget for me when I travel) visited and gave me a little bunch of peonies – she remembered that…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (29)

    This is a super-tiny flower, so delicate, growing through and along a fence, forming a wall of deep green leaves and these tiny white blossoms. So pretty, and so paper-thin. x desleyjane

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (23)

    Is this that funny little flower that’s meant to look a bit rude? It was difficult to photograph – about knee height, growing through a fence, but I just adore that little hairy set of buds! How sweet?! And the flowers are quite cute too. Tiny, as usual! Sore shoulder, as usual. Olympus macro, as…
