    Excellent series, I had no idea one could get such images out of an iPhone, even though I own one (iPhone 5). You can also clearly see the advantage of having a great depth of field out of the box. Posted 10 years ago

      Thank you again. I know there are apps that you can get that allow you to manually set the basic camera settings on the iPhones but I have not explored it. I have simply learned what works and what doesn't natively on the device. If I was going to be serious about using and iPhone I would invest in add-ons but it is only filling in until my new camera arrives. I HAVE to take pictures! I almost bought another stop-gap camera but decided to wait for shipment at the end of June (optimistically). Posted 10 years ago

        When you wait for something exciting to arrive, every day takes forever. Einstein was right that time is relative to the observer. Posted 10 years ago

The Crimson fountaingrass

''Pennisetum setaceum'', commonly known as crimson fountaingrass, is a C4 perennial bunch grass that is native to open, scrubby habitats in East Africa, tropical Africa, Middle East and SW Asia. It has been introduced to many parts of the world as an ornamental plant, and has become an invasive species in some of them. It is drought-tolerant, grows fast, reaches 3 feet in height, and has many purple, plumose flower spikes.
