rods of gold

I know not the botanical name of this plant and we always call it golden rod. It just flowers in our garden year on year late August.

Beautiful colour and great focus Hazel. Back to basics is stretching my knowledge of my camera settings!

Solidago. That`s the botanical name . Great focus and capture

[sally agnew]

Wonderful colour and dof. The colour reminds me of our beautiful wattle trees that are blooming prolifically at the moment :)

[Marta]

I know already that it's going to be such a good discipline - for me, anyway!

[Hazel]

@hermann

Ah, yes love those. I think wattle is what we call mimosa: http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/365/2014-03-29

@pyrrhula

Ferry, thanks and I'm going to try to remember the name, never knew it.

[Kane Arlow]

This looks beautiful. I love the lighting too. Fave.

[Bep]

It flowers in our garden too, there seem to be more every year. The Dutch name is 'gulden roede'; gulden = gold

[Hazel]

@karlow75

Kane, thank you. Knowing I was going to start this back to basics thread, I put the correct lens on my camera and went out into the garden to see what I could find. I've always maintained that I don't do much post-processing but it's emerging that I was doing more than I realised!!

[Hazel]

@gijsje

Ah, the same 'common' name in both languages. We have two plants of gulden roede and one always flowers before the other.

[Linda Plummer]

Nice close-up. They make a tea out of them back here. It's supposed to be a healthy drink.

[Pat Knowles]

This is a very cheerful shrub Hazel........I find it's a plant that shows up beautifully in gardens. Love your soft focus.

Wonderful shot of this Golden Rod, I have lots of this Hazel, spring time I lift and then split it up and give some away and transfer the other round the Garden, a must for any Garden...Fav
