Awesome shots Supa. Reminds me of watching a launch from Cape Canaveral, so as for a caption, how about “Space X from Shipwrecks a success “.

We the humble Crew are not worthy to caption supafreak's awesomeness!

An audience with a succulent in the garden yesterday morning..

Wow that’s some great imagery.
Are those drops reflecting the plants colour or absorbing it?

Looks like Aeonium arboreum ‘ Schwarzkopf’ to me. Nice crimson drops. AW

Thanks Seeds, think they're reflecting it?

Beautiful, Craig. Love a good droplet, great separation of focus. What lens were you using?

Thanks Blackers. Old trusty 50mm 1.8.

Sweet. Good work. I have a new toy, 90 mm 2.8.

Sick, love the leaf veins!

Nice work Blackers. Stop holding out and put it up often.

Ha, okay seeds. It's just cold and grey and wet and dark down here so much of the time. Hard to get inspired.

Show us the darkness!

Weird, but here it is.

Haha
Come on. Long exposure.

Electrofloraluminescense dedication to visionary splendour!

Holiday picks from a visit to tiger's land.

Awesome. Lovely stuff! That beach shot is dark.
What’d you score?

A nice cedar inlay stick from the master craftsman.

And a bit of this.

Sparkle and dark.
Is that your son?

Blackers. Oh we’re from TigerLand. Nice stately shot of a lone Pandanus tectorius.
AW.

Pics?

In your thread.

Hi Alfred. Thanks for the kind words. “Crucifix Orchid. The leaf venation is glorious”. Correct for the flowers (a fave go to on the front verandah) but no ID on the leaf?

Blackers. Hi mate.
If you get a chance please photograph the entire plant with that foliage. Thanks. AW

Ah that would make it too easy. A clue or 2 perhaps? Currently without leaves. Needs a warm protected spot down here.

Blackers. Easy, old photo then. Plumeria sp. Frangipani. AW

Some dark (and light) for seeds.

Can't stump you for long Alfred.
No clues next time! :)
Btw, photo was taken not that long ago, they haven't dropped their leaves, and have needed encouragement to avoid rot.

Blackers. There’s an old house in Geelong with a huge Frangipani.
It’s in a concrete planter box, it’s been there for as long as I’ve been around.
It’s hard up against a masonry wall facing direct north.
It often retains its leaves all Winter, Geelong has very mild Winter temperatures due to being enveloped by water, Corio Bay, Bellerive Peninsula and Surf Coast. AW

Blackers. Mackenzie’s Falls, Grampians or up north in Seeds hinterland ?
Is the plant photo a succulent Senecio sp. ? AW

The hills behind Lorne AW. Thanks for the feedback on the Franagipani. I usually leave things alone to sort themselves out but in the case of these we have lost branches due to old leaves and flower heads not falling away and the ends getting rot in them. In tubs, north facing, against a rendered brick wall, probably 10 years old now.
Some colour from earlier in the year.

Blackers. Erskine Falls. Your previous plant/light photo is Senecio serpens or repens.

This photo, Corymbia ficifolia.AW

Some colour from Bones Road, Bells Beach yesterday afternoon, a good hour of botanising after a cracker of a surf. AW

Beautiful AW, how's the contrast! And love it Blackers. Big bees!

Craig. Hi. A lot going on above the ground, down here in the cold, you can see and feel Spring is right on local flora’s doorstep, waiting to show their wares.

But so much more is going on underground.
A few plants in those two photos have subterranean symbiotic relationships, one with a fungi and another with specialised proteoid roots.
I won’t elaborate this evening, I’ll never fall asleep with a wired brain.

I hope your beautiful daughter is tucked up snug in bed. AW

Not Erskine, Splitter Falls I think. Not sure about the succulent, it's not really like the "blue chalk sticks" I see around. More of a vertical habit with side branches.
And Epacris impress in yours I believe. Nice.

Blackers. Most likely Senecio mandraliscae if it’s very upright .

Correct , Epacris impressa Pink Heath. AW

Great time of the year for colours

Basesix. Hi pal. Hope you and your family are well.

Haven’t spoken to him yet, they’ll be shattered, everyone including me liked REX, friendly staff and pilots.

Islanders have a different rate for flights compared to you and me.
I assume some other carrier will fill the niche.

Waves tomorrow, very much looking forward to it. Pristine weather today ,albeit , it started with a lot of fog and frost where I live.
Hows the Limestone Coast been faring weather wise? All the best. AW
