    Imperfect Perfection

    I couldn’t resist posting these rosebuds. I almost didn’t, because they aren’t perfect, they are covered in little bits of debris, most likely from a bug.

  • Closed Terrarium

    Closed Terrarium

    I picked up two terrariums on the weekend – one open (my iTerrarium, which you can see here) and this closed terrarium. The closed terrarium is a very groovy thing. It houses different plants from the open one – plants that like moisture, like ferns and mosses. If done properly, with the right soil conditions…

  • iTerrarium

    iTerrarium

    Now that I live in a small apartment on the fifth floor, I have no grass or garden area. All of my gardening will be done in pots. I previously showed some photos of a cyclamen that my friend gave me – that was my first plant here in the new place. I have also…

    Macro Garden Series – 3

    I really liked the colour of this flower when I was photographing it, but I fell in love with it when editing. The intricacy of the stigma is amazing and the colours are stunning up close.   Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro lens. x desleyjane
