@im2k cat and 2nd flower is nice....I liked the flower more actually

@marvelousprashant, @sujoyp - thank you.
@marvelousprashant - in the last shot of 3 roses i wanted to try selective lighting to prioritize the flowers according to their appearance , the time was evening but may be i think it didn't work. i tried to fix shadows in LR but it just enhanced details under it, later added a vignette .

One (two) of my latest blooms. Got these blooming after three months of sowing the seeds, and after a wait of 5 days. These beauties started blooming around last tuesday, and would bloom when I left for office and would close up before me entering my house. Somehow, I caught and captured these yesterday.

@lm2k: I wonder how you get that cat strike a pose for you?
That pink rose is actually looking nice. IMO, you could have tried capturing it somewhere in the morning (i think you've captured it in the evening), or somewhere in the shade. The sunlight, is actually creating a distracting effect, as it is unevenly falling on the flowers/petals.

@ Gen.Libeb: That white bougainvillea is giving a pretty soothing effect to the eyes. Nice capture!

Cyberkid, Vibrant flower...

Lm2k, I liked the last one more than others. And IQ is good...

Wow.. You know the names of the flowers, I had no idea what it was. Thanks for the comments.
Your flower is cool but as a photo... don't really find it interesting. (the cut off flower & the angle at which the photo is taken could be improved)

@lm2k - The first 2 are quite good.. specially the cat one.

That because I am a gardener, by hobby.

I agree with the second part. Even I found it hard to select one (the best) from a number of shots I took. As for the first part, I'd rather say, you ought to see this flower (Ghazania) in real. It's a delight to look at, as these come in dozens of colours, and even a single flower has about 5-6 colours.

@CyberKID @nac @Gen.Libeb - thnx
@CyberKID - i had just given that cat her favourate thing (a cup of shrikhand in this case) some how she stayed long enough for me to click a couple of snaps.
also is there a website u use to find the botnical names of u r garden plants? coz i too hav some but we just call them like " lal fool ka paudha" or so. also i agree with what Gen.Libeb said abt the flowers. they r beautiful but i wud hav loved to see the second one also or just a single one in a frame.

Actually, these are not botanical names, but common names, though, most common names are derivatives of the botanical names. In case you want to know more, you can visit Flowers of India. It's an extensive database for plants. Also, you can try using google image search. I use it sometimes when I can't find info about a plant.
As for the other flowers, here you go. The photos I'm posting here belong to the same plant, the lightest one (yellow flower) was about five days old, the medium coloured one was about 3 days old, and the darkest one was just one day old.

[CyberKID]

@ Toofan: Superb macros mate. Though the first image, whatever it is, it's looking ugly, but, the following pictures reflect an awesome work done by you. I'm amazed at the details in the shots captured by you. Nice work.
