Just a couple from me. My favourite Gladdy  and good old Ivy Geranium, keeps going even if you forget to water it, easy and beautiful, what more could you ask?   |

My favourites - long wait - each flower only lasts a day - but you do get three per bulb!  |

They seem to be Jlottie, I have grown them in pots by the house (east facing wall) for three years now and they stay out all year round here.
I have planted them in the borders previously - but had no success with them, so I will stick with the pots.

I love your Fuchsia JL Such a delicate, elegant flower. I have a similar one, much nicer IMO than the big, blowsy ones. |

I would like to post some of my red flowers but each time I take a photo, with flash and without flash, they come out looking iridescent - tried to adjust this in Picture Manager and doesnt change anything Have no problem with any other colour, just red and orange  |

Sorry Jenny
Assuming it's a digital camera, all I can suggest is that you look through the menus to see if there is anything you can see that might help. Maybe it's on the wrong ISO setting ? Maybe you have too much red and can change the contrast etc via the menus ? Without know what type of camera it is and what it can do, there isn't a lot I can help you with.
If I find that my camera isn't taking the kind of pictures I want, I play about with each setting and just keep testing them out until it works to my liking !!

It's probably something to do with the colour levels, ISO setting or the exposure.

Hello Tigridia
The stripy flower is a salpiglossis. It's an annual, not the easiest in the world to grow, but I love them. They flower all summer too if you keep dead heading them.

Some fab photo's again PG, lovely warm colours. JW & FA I have the same problem with reds on occasions, not always. I should read my manual too JW but it's 98 pages and I just can't get my head around most of it so gave up These reds turned out ok, it proably is something to do with light/sun, today was cloudy and this looks true to colour and clear.   |

Here it is F-A; I was hoping you had forgotten  I have taken the photo with, and without, the flash - the plant - and I dont know what it is - actually glows and is a vibrant red - the photo makes it look orange - the green Laurel in the background is the right colour so what is wrong  |

What make and model of camera is it ? If you let me know, I'll have a dig around online and see what I can find.
