7/4 update:
so, I only did one set of stacked shots for the first photo, I wanted the closest most detailed shots I could get however that didn't work out to show the real size/perspective. I wished I had taken better photos/wasn't happy with them (the detail almost makes them TOO detailed). so when we returned home tonight, kid and I went and trimmed off more seed pods that were ready to go and I spent some time with them once gals were asleep to get some nice perspective shots.
really, really happy with how these turned out! enjoy!
full size shot:
1:1 crop of above shot:
alternate shot
original post:
kiddo and I have been harvesting all the seeds slowly but surely the past week or so from all the VFTs we cross pollinated and then just left open for nature to do whatever with here is a lil macro shot showing some up close!
the small fibers you see are synthetic fibers from our carpet that I didn't notice were there until looking at the photos! one photo of the full shot, one 1:1 crop from full photo and a couple random bonus shots from the past month or two on the end. I know I've posted a couple of them in other threads that weren't mine.
kid is still enthralled with the plants we've nearly propagated things by every method we can at this point minus tissue culture. unfortunately can't get into that just yet! I'm still enjoying them also slowly growing and expanding when things allow but for the most part just making sure we keep these thriving! had one death over the winter of a cultivar I was looking forward to seeing grow but it was a tiny sickly plant to begin with, and I killed one this spring accidentally (whoops) other than that smooth sailing! I still lurk here a lot just haven't had nearly as much time to post!
the lovely D. Spatulata var. 'Tamlin' from Hollyhock from her xmas give away!
another from hollyhook at xmas showing a leaf strike from P. Florian! look at that cute lil thing!
caught a tree frog hanging out in the pots (since this photo frogs and toads have become a nuisance thanks to the pond on our property and mating each spring its the wild wild west as far as toads/frogs go. plants will be on a new plant stand we are building soon!
big ol D. Tracyii
American Toad that hangs out with the plants nightly (much to the seedlings sadness at times)
we picked up a bunch of small divisions from Smooter earlier this spring. here are a pair of them we like a lot so far 'Schuppenstiel I'
'Wally'
group shot of most of our plants from last year returning to form.
another group shot showing a bit more
