Took some garden photos today; mid winter and shortest day of the year - just love those Aussie native plants that keep flowering through winter. I know that people like to play with Issabella's snaps so feel free to do so with these. :)

Wallace - thanks for the heads up; I never thought of turning them into e-maps previously, but they do produce interesting results :)

Here is one using an e-map from the grevillea2 photo.

Racer-x and Photomaster - I am pleased that you like the flowers; these ones come from small to medium (say maximum 1 metre) size shrubs. Aussie native plants have a lot to offer any gardener and best of all they can take the heat and do not need as much water :)

EDIT: Thought I might throw in a couple more -

Lovely flowers in your garden, OMG. It's sure you love your garden and plants and flowers are happy in it. :tyspin
I wanted to add my humble contributions, too. :) I applied two different Dinasset scripts.
