I want to add that Heavy Metal is LOADED with pollen.  I put it everywhere, so far I think the only one that took is with Saffron...

I've been enjoying all the wonderful pictures everyone has been posting. I had to start moving some of my plants inside today. It's supposed to get down to 38 tonight.

Not sure what is happening with my camera at the moment, its taking some pictures a bit weird, which is a shame as I am getting great blooms at the moment, today I have a nice Cranberry Muffin and a heap of Dragons Breath.

David, check the settings.  It may have one of those weird infrared settings that nobody would ever use.  Or your card may be messed up.  Save all your photos that are on your card to your computer so you dont loose them.  Then go to menu on your camera (with your card in the camera) and find something that says format.  it will ask you if you are sure you want to format your card.  (THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR PHOTOS) select yes.  If it is a problem with your card this may help.  You should be in the habit of formatting your cards from time to time.  Cleans them up, and erases glitches.  Hope it helps.  Let me know.  What camera are you using?

A few from me today...  another mantis, this time a grey one on Heartbreak Hotel.  It actually turned its head to look at me after I took the picture.

Creme de la Creme with cooler weather colors.

Kristen, awesome Heavy Metal!  And David, I see your hibiscus even bloom well inside The Matrix.  Wink

Thanks Kristen, I have had a check and for some reason[maybe battery low] its switching to fluorescent. I tried again and after 3 pics it did it again so I will charge it up and see what happens, maybe I need a new card. Very nice Heavy Metal.
 I did get a nice picture of Pepermint Drop mind before it went funny again.

David, your Dragons Breath is a blooming machine.
It ended up getting down to 35 last night.

Two second day Cindy's Heart out in the cold and my Hot Pepper bush inside with a second day bloom.

David that is really awesome to see so many blooms from a potted plant.  I'm telling you if they can just be able to get really big the results are breath-taking like that.  Great job David!!!

John that Cindy's Heart from 11-3 is the best I've seen.  Sooooo much color on it!  

Jordan your Creme de la creme is really something.  That pink just bolts out of the brown so well.  I'm impressed and love the praying mantis.  Once in a while I'll find one of their egg sacks built around a stem of a plant in the yard.  Pretty neat.

Today's blooms...and some from 2nd & 3rd day blooms.  This weather is good for long duration blooms so that keeps the color going...

I must say Splash has been really interesting, much darker and without much of that bubble gum pink.  Instead these really dark eyes with some white streaking in the throat.  Very different and kind of hard to get on the camera but very nice.  Reminds me of a play on Flickering Flame colors somewhat.
