OK. Understand. Yes, white flowers in background, of a totally different genus & species.

First Bokeh with DA*16-50.

A slightly different view of the little female Cardinal. I took about 10 shots and hand holding at 1/100- 500mm only a few of them turned out usable. I usually get better odds than that....maybe I was sort of shaky?

Regards!

That is really a nice looking shot and great framing too! Glad your on the up and up now

Take a look here. It's a list of roses best suited for Florida.

I have seen it...reminds a bit of a takumar. I don't know much about the new Nikon version but the "A" setting on the K mount Nokton is a huge perk in my book plus the design of it matches my other 2 Voigtlanders. BTW thanks for the link, looks like a handy resource to reference and I do have one pot of roses that so far are doing well but they are miniatures.

Could not locate GDA13 posting, but maybe ought to try roses from a supplier in Tyler, Texas, self-described rose capital of the world! Maybe they will be more adapted to southern growing conditions.

Its possible and I'll keep that in mind although Tyler looks a bit to the North up by Dallas so it might be a bit dryer climate. I will say I have seen a fairly impressive rose garden in Orlando (within Leu Gardens) which does have species that are suitable in the humidity down here plus its in a large open space that gets full sun and a good breeze which probably helps to dry them out from the daily rain showers we get this time of year. However when I lived in S. California it was pretty effortless to grow them.

Got a few more from my most recent but all too brief trip...various lenses and locations

A50mm/2.8 macro (I am very happy with this lens so much so I can offload that FA50mm/2.8 macro)

DFA 100mm/2.8 WR macro

Voigtlander 58mm/1.4 Nokton

They're all excited this morning....sap is flowing!

"I'm ready to go when it starts to flow!"

"It's better than beer on tap!"
