Gardening Gone Wild is having a native plant photo contest. Some really cool plants and photos have been posted. So of course that had me thinking: what would I submit? Since the limit is three photos, should I submit photos with cool plants or photos that are great shots? Sigh. Well, here are the photos that I've chosen, simply because they are some of my favorite photos of plants native to New Mexico, technical merits aside (as you can see, I like the P. linaroides so much, it's my banner), but I think I'm going to post some runner-up's in a different post simply because there are so many cool plants out there. (Penstemon linarioides above, Nolina texana below, and Echinocereus reichenbachii var. caespitosa bottom)
Beautiful flowers on the cactus and the penstemon is perfect! gail
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have an affinity for the Penstemon linarioides.
ReplyDeleteWell the contest is done and results posted over at GGW early next week. Thanks for your entry and I am giving each photo bit of constructive criticism.
ReplyDeleteAll are great plant photos and the Penstemon is the strongest composition, colorful and simple. It could be cropped a bit tighter and I would like to see a more obvious garden setting for the contest.
I love the name of your blog! (I'm assuming it's ironic.) Lovely photos, especially the cactus.
