    Now that's what I like to see - different ways of showing off your garden. :D I really like the shot of the Cactus, yucca and wild grass Glenda.

    Ooooooooooo, very nice indeed. I like to take my flower photos at dusk, I think you can get a truer colour without the suns glare. I do love your Mexican Hats. I have been admiring those on your other photos. I really would like some for my garden so will have to put the feelers out.

    Those flowers have a certain charm when filmed at night. The contrast with the flowers being illuminated against the dark background is a good technique. They're lovely,Glenda.

    I love the way your Sunflowers look against the nite sky. I planted the mimosa seeds last spring and they did real good all summer but sadly didn't make it thru the winter. I'm told that the mimosa won't grow well in our zone because of our hard winters. :(
    Thanks for showing us your flowers at nite.

    Very cool Glenda. They have a certain wild look to them in the dark, I think, esp the sunflowers and the Mexican hat group shot. Neat idea. I'll have to try it sometime.

    Mimosa

    Glenda ,,

    I didnt know you had nite shots on till I placed mine.
    Sorry .......didnt mean to impose.

    Now a question//??????????

    Mimosa tree.. Does it cling low to the ground when it was young?

    I have something growing that looks similiar to that tree.. i do have Mimosa seeds..

    This has to be hardy, cause it came back over winter.

    Glenda,

    I dont like skitos ......My iilaws had that , they hurt.

    I suppose your on the level and water stands too?
    When we were up in Wisconsin, boy we were amazed at all the swamp land area there with trees and water.

    Not impressed at all.. Not even nice trees..
