A cold day at Kew Gardens yet the beauty stays.
I observed so many different patterns and shapes this time.
The ‘Smilex’ with its heart shaped leaves and thorns.
Again I tried to take photos with a bokeh- effect as good as I can with my Phone Camera.
Look at those amazing patterns of 2 very different plants.
It is wonderful to have been able to share this visit with a wonderful friend.

Ute, these are stunning photos! Aren’t plants and flowers just amazing! They, and you, have made me smile, a BIG smile 😊🙋♂️
Thank you so much Ashley, for your lovely comment! Nature is so amazing and it never ceases to impress me. Nature is never the same and I can not get enough of it. It also is a wonderful healer and as you say makes us smile. ♥
These are absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you so much, every time I go I find more wonderful plants. Thank you for being here! ♥
Thanks for the beauty today, Ute
Most welcome!
HI Ute,
How exquisite nature is!!
Thank you for posting this. You are a great photographer.
Blessings! ♥♥
Thank you so much Ana, I love my Kew! 🙂
Love all these unique shapes and colors. Your photos are absolutely beautiful. Plus, you taught me something. I had to look up “bokeh effect.” I did not know the name of it, but it is one of my favorite types of photo.
Thank you, I am getting more into photography and try more things out as much as my phone camera can do it. I did buy my phone because of the good camera, nothing else. 🙂
Oh Ute these are beautiful!
Thank you 🙂
Amazing pictures 😍! You have a wonderful way of seeing x
Thank you so much Birgit, I see things and I do learn a lot from you. ♥
Such beautiful photos. It was especially good to see the bananas!
Thanks Mandy, I guess you grew up with them like that! ♥
I did. When I came to NZ as a teenager, I was sometimes homesick. I always felt better if I could get to the tropical display in the Botanical Gardens and look at the banana plants there!
I can imagine….. for me it is rather exotic to see them not natural as for you 🙂
Lovely photos. Flowers are one of my favourite things to photograph because they are do diverse and all beautiful. Hope you are well 🙂 x
Thank you GIll, I am well and I agree, Flowers are a perfect motive and always make me happy!
Hach! 🥰
