New Orchid

I bought myself a new plant this weekend. It's a dendrobium orchid. Isn't it pretty?

Day 233: Plant Outside My Classroom

I'm getting back in the swing of things after not posting for what seems like such a long time. I just got out of the habit and it was a bit difficult getting back into things. Hopefully I can keep up with this - at least till the end of the year.
Anyway, today's photo is of a plant outside my classroom. I've never noticed it before - must wander around with my eyes closed. I really liked the shape of it.

Day 178: Plant Pattern

I know I've done one like this before, but I just love these plants. So I thought I'd repeat myself.

Day 166: Beautiful Begonia

Yesterday I was given this beautiful plant as a thank you for working with the school choir. Isn't it lovely? And aren't I lucky too? It certainly brightens up my lounge.

Day 141: A Flash of Red

I was wandering past the school office this afternoon when my eye was caught by a flash of red. I have never noticed that this plant has red flowers bits hidden away inside the tangle of leaves. It really cheered me up.

Day 86: New Colour

I suddenly noticed this small group of colour outside my classroom. I could have sworn it wasn't there yesterday. Or maybe I just had my eyes closed all day - it's possible!

Day 53: Plant Paradise

It seems to be a month for plants this month. But we have so many really nice ones in school that I just can't help myself. This one's just outside the school office.

Day 52: Peace Garden Plant

Our peace garden has such lovely plants in it. It's a pleasure to sit there, and really nice to take a camera in as well.

Day 40: Red Leaves in Sunshine

I have no idea what this plant is, but it doesn't take a lot of looking after so I can't kill it very easily, which is good. I do love the colour of the leaves though and today the bright sun has made the leaves really glow.

Day 39: Stripes and Spots

I hadn't really noticed when I took the photo, I just liked the darker green stripes down the middle of the leaves, but I really like the yellow spots towards the bottom of the photo.

Day 36: Plant in Pink

I don't normally mess with my photos after I've taken them - although I do enjoy doing so when I get the chance. While I liked this photo as it was, I think it's much better with a pink wash over the top.

Day 32: Patterns in Plants

I really like to see patterns in nature. It fascinates me. I think I was first switched on to it when I saw a film called "pi" a long time ago. Weird film, but it started an interest, which is always good.

Day 28: Twisted

Okay, so I'm cheating again. I took these yesterday at school, but I thought that I'd use it today. These plants are in my school's peace garden which is always a nice place to be. As I was walking through it, I noticed the way that these vines twisted together.

Day 21: Lily Seedpod

I have quite a few lilies in my garden (although they're not doing too well in the heat). This one has a seedpod growing inside the flower. I quite like the way that the webs around the seedpod have been picked out in the photo.

Day 18: Stripes

I'm not fantastic at looking after plants, but I do like nice pots to keep them in while I slowly kill them through neglect. The other day I noticed the way that the horizontal stripes of the plant pot worked with the vertical stripes of the plant. I'm not sure that the photo works how I wanted it to, and I had to crop it in an attempt to make it work. But, ah well.
