Am I a serial Killer? Succulents and Brahma Kamal Plants

 Am I a serial killer? are you a serial killer? its official now! I have killed so many plants, thinking about this brings sadness to my heart.Brahma Kamal plants at present are surviving, on our window sill, I just have to stop caring for them, very less watering , just not bothered whether I see the blooms or not, enough!
While more than fifteen years with gardening experience, container gardening, I am a very impatient soul, yet with innocent love all my terrace garden  plants, they do bloom and most , in fact almost all are happy with me except succulents. I just see the plants photo and immediately know what it wants! or what is its condition.
There are not always successes and I admit, I have lost too many succulents that I fear  adding any now...the main problems is I have kept them together with the others. Strong sunlight, they don't like, too much water they repel from and trimming they don't need! so succulents are a different , totally aliens for me!
Now at present they are doing ok, they look dull, some one fresh leaf pops up at an end of a large leaves,  but guess blooms are history!

its exciting when some one shares their experiences,their Brahma Kamal photographs and well, how blessed they feel with doing puja and offering this Awesum flower to God.
I imagine how that time would be...when I see  a bud..I would break into a happy dance... and another long elongated tentacle with heavy plump buds...I would be soooo happy...on top of the world...then waiting for the bud to grow, as days pass by the brahma kamal bud will grow larger and larger...and there would be so much excitement in anticipation for the big night...the night when this flower will bloom...with its majestic beauty and presence of heavenly attributes the Brahma Kamal flower will bloom in my home and there would be no words to express , except feelings of being in the moment, most connected to the Universal life force,  and enjoying this bliss! and I would share my happiness to the world, doing the happy dance!!! so waiting for these precious life magical moments...hope the Universe blesses me with at least one bloom in this lifetime!fingers crossed ..waiting...Reading a lot on succulents, lots of blogs, gardening blogs, experiences, watching you tube videos, guess one day will succeed in growing a blooming a Succulents garden!

How to click Flower Photographs with Mobile Phone 5 Practical Tips for Mobile Clicks of Flower Photographs

 Garden care Simplified , blogging and sharing my experiences since so many year and clicking photos is one of my favorite hobbies that has become my first love!
 From each new leaf, to new plants and exotic blooms to clicks of flowers from travel destinations and amazing places of beauty I have always found that mobile phone photographs are the most easiest and also can be taken as many as we want.

 Upper end mobiles do have high resolution images and it is also very handy with your mobile phone to click any flower photo you want immediately. We had a digital camera but most times we forget to carry it along and mobile phones with higher resolution photo quality are best from clicking garden flower photos.

 Yet after many years the old photos seem blurry, some have no subject focus, some lack clarity and some are dull. I have learned some few tips that can help you take good quality flower photos.
1) Mornings are the best time to click flower photos in your garden. Blooms become dull by afternoon as the sun rises more. Fragrant Jasmines that open during evenings are best to click at that time with partial evening glow of sunlight. You will get a heavenly white against golden glow of the indirect sun. Flash always needs to be off. Many of my flower photos look different with flash and I prefer to keep it off. In fact in bright sunlight you will get the best clicks outdoors!
2) Roses that look Awesum but most difficult to click. Take the click from an angle to get the details. Roses when clicked from a distance will not show the minute details so take photo of rose flowers from side, a bit tilted will give you a great click of rose flower.
3) During rains, after rains the best clicks , so refreshing with water droplets, another difficult thing to capture while taking flower photos with mobile phone. Keep your phone lens clean. Adjust the focus, as this gets blurry and foggy rains. It is worth if you get a little wet , but avoid umbrellas during clicking flower photos in rain.
4) the centre of the flowers, especially roses, close up, details of flowers are amazingly beautiful. you will want to click these with your mobile phone. Get the colours right by adjusting the focus . do not get too close a pictures appear blurry. Zoom a bit and then focus before clicking. Do not zoom too much as pictures come out with broken pixels.

 5) Collection of flowers, flower arrangements and vases full of flowers are such a hot interesting subject to click. Focus on the composition. Take a section of the photo to click, if you want real clarity. Add some, minus some , choose the best composition from the available image. Single flowers are easier to click as compared to group or bunches of flowers.
