I'm glad I get to show these and I'm really happy that thanks to him I now know the plants are called Brittlebush.
Took these about 4 years ago.

2. Lots of possible interpretations and what you did is funny.
I remember very carefully framing this (and it being a real challenge) to photograph this in such a way that a little of the railing shows for the purpose of showing the enormity of this thing.

5. I did it, it's my fault. I think I will play with some more today.

6. Wow, nice shots!
Oh, and I'm a "her". :-)

By the way, the orange flowers in the foreground of the first two pics are Desert Globe Mallow -- I have some in my front yard, they bloom all summer and add such nice orange-red highlights to everything!

That last shot is very cool, and eek! scary...

7. HI there, girl! Thanks for identifying the other flowers for me,
and also your gender. I have these photos in my favorites, which are set to simply rotate on my computer as screen saver, and one never knows what pops up. Now I have a name.
