This year the flowers were late, very late because of the climate at times of sudden hot and cold. many Echinocereus bud still needs plenty of sunshine to be open.

As usual the standard of your photography does you credit as do your plants

[majcka]

Not only I'm embrio at cacti. I'm embrio in making photos aswell.

Your pics are amazing. And so are plants.

[Arjen]

angelo, lovely flowers and absolutely stunning photography!
what's the damage on the petals of your gentryi?

[angelo]

Thanks to everyone

Darryl the spines of polyacanthus is long 10 cm.

Arjen , no damage to the petals, it's only pollen

Angelo would you be so kind and reveal to me how you're making such a beautiful picture? I would like to try myself. Only I have just an ordinary digital camera. Is that kind of photography posible?

[angelo]

Maja, there is no special tips. Just prepare well by cleaning the border pots (when possible) and also the equipment.
if you do not look for small details that it takes macro lens, you can do it with any camera.You need a good tripod and a black background.
Then, with a little patience you can' work the shot in pc.

Nice show! I like all the colors on those flowers!

[RichR]

All beautiful shots and plants, Angelo. I especially like the Sulcorebutia "Sunrise." Such beautiful color combinations.

[angelo]

thanks.
the sulcorebutia is a cut 2008 of 1 cm, now is in a pot 9cm.

[Minime8484]

Gorgeous - especially that Lobivia famatimensis!

[Jens]

Great photos and plants Angelo. Do you make the background blacker on the PC after photographing?

I built a little box to shade off the black background a little more but it is not always that black. And its too small for bigger cacti.

[Arjen]

it's only pollen

oh yes, now I see it too, picture taken after pollinating?

once again beautiful flowers!
