OC 's 07 Perennials

oldcoot · Post by **oldcoot** » Feb 17, 2007 2:13 pm

This concludes all the macro shots OC has made with his 300 mm lens. WC says temps in the low to mid 60's Tuesday on. So maybe OC can get out and see what's new.

This is a Nandina Berry from a bush that grows right by OC's sidewalk. Berries are very small, about half the size of a pea.

OC saying gosh it works.............

I love the pictures! It will be quite some time before we see blossoms here in northern Indiana.

BTW, Iris reticulata have always been some of my favorites.

Morning John!!

Great shots! I really like the iris shot....were you on your belly taking that one?

Here in Georgia, it's nice and sunny.....still need jackets though and I have not seen one hosta...

Thanks for sharing!!

No, OC won't do THAT ! If he did he would have to call Joy to come help him back up (really bad knees) that is why he has to stay on the scooter. He actually backed away from it until, it was in focus. Cropped a good bit.......Lucy it is still too early for Hosta, in about a month. Supposed to warm up to the 70's by week-end. That out to bring out the tulips and regular hyacinths..... be careful coming back. still lots of snow up your way,......Coot

Pieter posted the irises. But I love all the pictures. John, you're just making us jealous.

We must wait and wait and wait for spring.

In a macro shot above, these were labeled as tulips, but boy did OC get a big surprise. Turned out to be beautiful Hyacinths. Here they are in full bloom. Joy loves these and likes for to me to plant more every year, but that bed is just about to run out of space.....

OC hopes you enjoy them as much as he and Joy and did

with Miss Joy Gone, OC has full control of the computer tonight. By now he has USUALLY GONE ON TO BED AND she is playing games on it . So He is posting some pictures tonight instead of tomorrow when he plan to edit a few more he took this afternoon. Will certainly be more alert then.

Yellow Bells wee being photographed when OC spotted the Anole.

Enjoy Joy's Absence.......OC sure is..........So Quiet....

Hey Coot, those are lovely!

Now that the snow has melted I can see the green noses of daylilies, tulips and peonies poking up through the soil. Hooray!!

Keep the pictures coming!

While siting in his chair on the Deck the other afternoon staring into his pots to see what had been going on, he saw this pot of Anemone putting out greenery, Looked so pretty, he just decided to take a picture of it and show to you.......

OC saying thanks for looking............

Just found this one in his 2-B-edited file.

A really pretty blueish purple, Hyacinth in full bloom - a Macro shot, and a pretty Grape Hyacinth in almost full bloom - Macro also

Hope you enjoy it as much as OC and did. Smelled great too, Joy said....

You've sure been having some pretty spring blooms, OC!!

Thanks for sharing them. The dark blue hyacinths & grape hyacinths are always favorites of mine.
