They are called Poiciana in Australian but more well known by the common of Flame Tree, made famous by the band Cold Chisel.Quote:

The Midget loves her orchids and has quite a collection now. I took a few snaps but it was raining and the cold rain tickles somewhat, so I retired inside again.

She also likes these things, but I've no idea what they are. Looks like a mini carnation.

Direct from the camera, no cropping etc.
I got a Sigma 70-200mm 1:2.8 lens and it's nice for a beginner like me, but it's pretty heavy. Wish I could afford to splash out for an L series lens.

Nice ones Marmite. I always feel that a few raindrops on the flower head make them look much more spectacular.Quote:

A question from a gardener with a camera.... I have a lot of plant pictures. I made a selection to show here... But not all of them are flowers only. Some of the pixx show seeds, fruits, bark, strange colored leaves and other details osf plant life, and all are growing and photographed here in Thailand. Because the title thread says "Thai Flowers, your pictures" I'm curious whether 'off topic' plant pictures would be allowed and/or appreciated.
Don't worry, I'm not going to show you trees at great distance, or a bunch of boring root systems, (I'll keep those to myself :) ). If there's another thread where they would fit in better, or if I should start a new one, tell me...
If... nobody starts moaning the next couple of days, I will start posting as soon as I have uploaded them all. Let's see when the withdrawal symptoms strike...
^ Just post them.
Okay, here we go.... I've put my pictures in albums and that's how I will post them. I will add a number to each photo (bottom left), so if you want to say/ask about a particular photo, just refer to the number. Not all of them will have the proper names, partly because I'm to lazy to look (often I know the genus or the way to treat them) or because I simply don't know....
The person who fills in the most blanks, or can correct the name I gave, will get a reward when I'm done posting all my photo's. Prize would be something like 10 unrooted 40 cm. cuttings of different varieties of Plumeria, or if you prefer, a big bag of fresh Plumeria seeds, send by post in Thailand, or a bit bigger cuttings when the winner is close to Chiang Mai, so I can drop them off. Have fun....

Gipsy, may I make a suggestion? Could you also post the English/common names of these flowers? I see lots that I recognise but have always wondered what their common names are :)Quote:

slackula, yes many names are tongue-twisters and you have to keep an eye on the screen while typing.... "prickly pear' would have been easier in this case, but I'm not sure everybody would understand.
Following text taken from the net:
• Why do we use those hard-to-pronounce scientific names of plants? Is it out of smugness? Wouldn't it be more "democratic" to use the common monikers (or "nicknames") that everyone can understand, instead of the scientific names of plants?
• Ironically, that's just the point: Not everyone can understand what particular specimens are being referred to by those charming old nicknames. The latter vary not only from language to language, but even from region to region. Thus we inject too much confusion into the discussion when we forgo using scientific names of plants in favor of their nicknames. In fact, even within the same region a specimen may well have more than one nickname attributed to it. Or in some cases, none exists at all for a given specimen. Worse yet, two specimens quite unrelated may share the exact same nickname!
•
• Scientific Names of Plants to the Rescue!
• It was to combat such confusion that Swedish naturalist Carolus (Carl) Linnaeus (1707-1778) developed what is known as the binomial system for taxonomy -- in other works, the use of scientific names for plants. "Binomial" means that two words are used for classification purposes, and those two words are in Latin (or Latinized, at least). You may remember from History class that Latin was once the universal language of Western scholars. And it is that very universality that is stillGlechoma hederacea, for instance, into the Google search engine, by about the fourth page of results you'll see that some of the entries are in languages other than English. That's universality for you, and that's the beauty of the scientific names of plants.
and
Plant Naming
• The method of naming living things using 'Latinised' names was introduced to end the ambiguity of local names or common names, which can refer to different organisms depending on the country or region. The system was first devised early in the eighteenth century by a Swede, Carl von Linné, who adopted a Latin name for himself - Linnaeus. It was applied to plants in 1753 and to animals in 1756.
• Plant names are usually descriptive, from the features of a plant (repens - creeping), who first discovered it (wilsonii), or its country of origin (lusitanica - Portugal). Since the names are not always based in Latin it is probably more accurate to describe it as the botanical, scientific or approved name, although it is usually written in a Latin form. The "International Code of Botanical Nomenclature" is an agreement between botanists around the world to follow the Binomial System of naming. The International Congress of Nomenclature is the committee which meets every four years to decide on any additions or changes to the naming of organisms.
• Every plant is given its own name, so there should not be any confusion when ordering plants for the garden. If common names were used and you asked for bluebells, you could get Campanula rotundifolia in Scotland, Hyacinthoides non-scripta in England or one of several Penstemon and Mertensia in North America.
• The name is in two parts (Binomial System), first the Genus starting with a capital letter followed by the Species, with the first letter in lower case, eg. Sorbus aria - common name Whitebeam. (In print the Genus and Species are usually set out in italics.)
◦ The Genus name is often shortened to a capital letter if it has already been used and another Species in that Genus is referred to, eg. S. aucuparia - Mountain Ash.
◦ The Species may be further divided into Subspecies (subsp. or ssp.), eg. Euphorbia characias subsp. wulfenii
◦ Due to geographic and ecological differences, variations arise within a Species giving rise to a Varitey name (var.). A Variety is usually Latinised, written in italics and the abbreviation var. is sometimes included, eg. Geranium sanguinium var. striatum.
◦ When this variation is due to selective breeding it is called a Cultivar (cv.). A Cultivar name is not usually Latinised and is printed in standard type, but with a capital letter, and it is placed in inverted commas eg. Geranium cinereum 'Ballerina'. Often the Species name is left out and the Genus is followed by the Cultivar name, eg. Cotoneaster 'Autumn Fire'.
◦ When hybridization occurs between two Species the name of the resulting plant contains elements of the parental names connected by a multiplication sign (x), eg. Corokia x virgata.
◦ Where the hybridization is between two Genera - a rare occurance - the cross is placed at the begining of the name, eg. x Fatshedera lizei - between a false castor oil plant (Genus Fatsia) and an ivy (Genus Hedera).
◦ Despite all the care taken to give one name to each plant, some have more than one acceptable name. This usually occurs when a plant is reclassified due do more up-to-date methods of identification and the old name remains in use. In this case the other name or synonym (syn.), is sometimes included on the label, eg. Verbena bonariensis syn. V. patagonica.
Try to say these 3 times in a row, preferably with a mouthful of dry biscuit crumbs: Ornithogalum adseptentrionesvergentulum, Crepidiastrixeris denticulatoplatyphylla and Leucospermum hypophyllocarpodendron…
