More flowers (sorry!)

Tell me when you're bored with flowers...I'll start on something else

Nicely done: good DOF and no burnt bits. Fuchsias are hard to photograph!

Nice. I find they never stay still enough to get a good shot. Half the time I end up holding (hopefully out of shot) the plant still, and shooting one handed (yes, yes I know bad technique etc but it works).

Anyone mind if I slip another one in? Taken today on my terrace.

There's a short flexible arm that fixes to the bottom of your camera and has a clip on the end that you can use to hold a flower etc bang in front of the lens. Saw it on the web but can't remember where

I think that first one is your best flower to date. Not quite sure about the frame though

Cheers. I'd seen this used in the field but forgotten the name. A bit of light battering for Mr credit card methinks

That looks like it but the site I saw showed it fixed to a camera and holding a flower. You could probably use it as a slide copier too!
