Photo Contest - January '09 - Page 2

Thanks mskitty! I have to get one of these. I will also try to get it to variegate like that at some point.

I can see this is going to be a tough job deciding which photo to place in the magazine first. That's a beautiful laterita, Brent! So many to choose from, and don't forget the Ensete perrieri plant Jeff just posted. It is in the "Trying again with Ensete perrieri (from RPS)." thread. Gorgeous!

Those Musa Siam Ruby's are beautiful! I have not been able to find one in Costa Rica yet, but I imagine someone will eventually introduce them.

Here's one of my personal favorites.

Lorax,
Here are a few of the bananas I got started this past spring ('08), in SE TN. Not sure how they will overwinter, but only time will tell!!!

Here is a link to a few other pics of what I have grown this past year. Not sure if any other pics are any better, but wanted to let you see and know you are welcome to any or all of pics I have in my photobucket account...

A contest combining two of my favorite hobbies? What an excellent surprise! Here's my stab.

This photograph was more about composition than subject, but it still turned out to be one of my favorites. I regret not being able to identify the species/cultivar, though I'd greatly appreciate it if one of our resident experts could give a suggestion as to what it could be.

Hi-res JPEG available on demand.

mskitty38583 · 01-15-2009, 10:36 AM

r u a photographer? i took evidence photography last semester. i didnt know taking pics could be that much fun. we took pics of mock murder scenes, break-ins, and spousal abuse....all mock of course. i love your flower pic....to me it looks like and oronico from the flower.

Chironex · 01-15-2009, 01:42 PM

I like the composition of your photo too. It reminds me of the two stars on the front of the stage, with the rest of the troupe in the background.

Bananaman88 · 01-15-2009, 01:47 PM

Pharazon- I love all the colors in that close up. Nice work.

Taylor · 01-15-2009, 11:23 PM
