Don't eat its leaves. Don't eat its roots. Don't eat its stems. They are toxic. But, supposedly the "apples", which are not really apples, are edible.
Mayapple is a native perennial wildflower of the moist woods, often found in large colonies in Michigan. They have two large leaves, and a single white flower on nodding stems.
Nerium oleander is a shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium. It is most commonly known as nerium or oleander, from its superficial resemblance to the unrelated olive Olea. It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though southwest Asia has been suggested. Oleander is one of the most poisonous commonly grown garden plants. Oleander grows to 2–6 m tall, with erect stems that splay outward as they mature; first-year stems have a glaucous bloom, while mature stems have a grayish bark. The flowers grow in clusters at the end of each branch; they are white, pink to red. 33119
Kiron 105mm f/2.8 Macro_f/4_avialable light. Amazing lens, www.flickr.com/photos/nickcowling/ really got me interested in this lens, thanks Nick!
Lined up in a row, six wine glasses given to me a few months ago as a Birthday present.
Hand held and the gentle colour softness that this lens produces when fully open. Not much depth of field either!
All sorts of gentle post-processing, a bit here and a bit there!

I have been thinking lately that I need to take some wider angle photos and it is difficult when I enjoy the world close up and macro. My next goal should be wide lens work of people and places.

Flowering in Palm tree Gardens in Grenada
Ginger originated in Maritime Southeast Asia and was likely domesticated first by the Austronesian peoples. It was transported with them throughout the Indo-Pacific during the Austronesian expansion (c. 3,000 BCE), reaching as far as Hawaii. Ginger is one of the first spices to have been exported from Asia, arriving in Europe with the spice trade, and was used by ancient Greeks and Romans.
The gardens are two acres of botanical gardens, over 300 plant species, including 40 palm varieties, anthuriums, bromeliads, and orchids. A great excursion out.

...added a stem to my candy foil wrap "floral design"
(Reeses Candy foil wrap)
for Macro Mondays. Compared with the large bowl, the long stems on my posh wine glasses seem very slender and fragile, and I always take great care when handling them.
The five other glasses are reflected in this one stem.
I was "admonished" (not seriously) by an acquaintance yesterday for not using my Hasselblad enough, so today I accepted the challenge to make some images with it. This frame made use of the 0.5 Proxar closeup filter.

Indoor Tulip stem with sunlit accents....Morning Sunlight seeping through the window blinds.
I was out early one morning with only the big lens, looking for wildlife. No luck there, but I was very glad I noticed this frost on these red stems. I don't know what the plant is. I've been bringing my macro lens every day since, but frost this nice doesn't happen very often. Siskiyou County, California
