Keep them coming!

The flavas at Joseph Pines are indeed stunning. They're much more impressive in person. I'm 5'6" and some of the lids come up to my waist.

now those are some tall flavas! When I was in Wilmington when I was, oh, probably about 8 they were taller than me!

[Wire Man]

I can imagine they're even more impressive to small children. Those flavas are still there, luckily.

Our N. bicalcarata opened its first pitcher of the season today! It's awesome! From the looks of it right now it's a red one.

[antechron]

wow, I love what you've done with those photos!

[Wire Man]

Thanks! I haven't done anything with post processing. My camera has built in art filters that allow to to add these awesome effects directly to the photo. It makes otherwise stale photos look very dramatic, as you can see.

[CPlantaholic]

holy smokes these are great shots. they keep getting more and more awesome.

[Wire Man]

Thanks! I try to improve each time I click the shutter.
