Flora, asstd insects etc and scenes around our property

Lyn is a very keen, dedicated and knowledgable gardener, specialising in sub-tropicals. The quality of our garden is the result of constant TLC by Lyn, very capably and professionally assisted by Carolyn and Cherie (bless them xx) from C & C Garden Ventures, Woodlands Park Titirangi. Dave from 'Lawn Lizard' is a 'Master Craftsman' when it comes to looking after our lawns, a work of art every time. I look after the bush areas, much easier of course, and pour the cold drinks when ordered. Living in the Waitakere Ranges, northwest of Auckland City, we have a semi-tropical climate with a 40% higher rainfall than Auckland.

Hello Ted
this all looks so lush and exotic, wonderful plants and so well shown, you obviously deserve the bigger lens , just as your wife deserves yet more plants
Ceya19-Jun-2008 13:14
Fantastic, exotic gallery of flowers! There is an Azalea Park in Helsinki, too - the best blooming time is at the end of May - in the beginning of June.. I have a few shots of that park in my Azalea gallery..
Big vote!

Ted, You have a great gallery for yourself. Awesome collection of Florals here. Thanks for your comments on my pictures. They are much appreciated.

I use a diffusor and a gold/silver reflector to manage lighting in my pictures. I use 12 Inch ones and use a Wimberley plamp to hold them in place.
