Remember the last line on your avatar.

You will survive, and it will get better.

Picture me standing on my head in wet soil taking this pic of a 'very short' pendant hybrid

Always heard dirt was good for the hair.

Anthony....

A strategically placed mirror can be useful for capturing those confounded downfacing lilies...

The excitement of recovering after standing on my head ..Its an exciting blooming time here right now..I like to rough it with photos!! -but thanks for the brilliant idea.. Do you have a big hole in the bathroom wall now, where you tore out the mirror???

Anthony, you are right, it is my bathroom mirror. But it is only 6 inches in diameter. So the bathroom wall is still intact!

Nice idea with the mirror pard. And Anthony I hope things get better. One thing I ended up learning with severe drought and heat and wind here, I call it survival of the fittest. Some that I thought would do well and there were some surprises. I think mostly new planted bulbs even, planted very deeply, were not established enough to cope with the environmental stresses.

I've often wondered about using mirrors in photography, but really haven't gotten around to investigating much. It would seem the perfect solution when a large depth of field is critical, but can't be done via traditional methods.

For example, when taking photos of lilies, the petals can be well in focus, bu if the stigma sticks out too far (and is much closer to the camera), it is not in focus. However taking a picture of a mirror image of same, everything should be perfectly clear since the entire image (the mirror) is equal distance from the camera lens.

It seems so logical, but then why haven't I ever hear of it before?

We really need to see a clearer shot of that white one! C'mon, bathroom renovation time

Is that Lilium kelloggii (in the data base) yours, Anthony?

Tell us about it, please.

Its Rod Barwicks [Glenbrook]-I was lucky to be there for a picture

aSIATICS COMING 'THICK AND FAST'

Nice to see that some of your lilies are looking fine. Have never seen that one before.

Love the small lily.

Another pendant

Do I see more of Neil's work there and above? Love the pendant lilies.

Really cute Anthony!
But why are the pics off-focus?
I also have problems with my oh-so-easy-to-use camera...but a pain in the BEEP! when I need to take close-ups...
Sometimes I need to take 5 identical pics for a good-enough one.
