Wendy - I remember you saying this plant was difficult to photograph, and
I've sure found it so, because the blooms look down and curve in. This is my
best effort so far.

Interesting. I can see how that would be a tough one to capture.

A very nice macro Tom & also your guy seems to have a greenish tinge to it,
while
mine was more yellow/brown.
How about one of the whole plant there doc?

Macro lens, 12 mm extension tube, and a very narrow aperture in full
sunlight. Congratulations! You knew enough to zero in on the aperture, Kath.

I'll try when the sun comes out tomorrow, but the spike is tall enough that
the individual blooms will just vanish. Neat fragrance, though.
