Identify- Flower type please
Took this at Tesselars tulip festival about a week ago, can someone tell me what type of flower this is, Taken with D2x and 50mm 1.8 @ F11 1/45 sec , w/b auto, natural light, jpeg/fine. Nikon boy Norman
I really don't know what the flower is perhaps a member of the hibiscus family - the lesser known Hibiscus Chernobylus (only found 200m from the Chernobyl implode). But, nikon boy a lovely crisply rendered image of vibrant colour. I just must have a D2X or the D200 if it's the progeny of the D2X. I have LUST big time.
Lovely shot! cheers marco
Marco, The D200 does not produced sharp colour like this one!  Birddog114

The leaves are a puzzle cuz I'm not an expert, by any means, but they look very much like a cluster I took at a botanical garden that were labeled as orchids. Actually I didn't take 'em
 I took 'em ... knowwhatimean  regards

Ok, I'm no horticulturalist, but I think what you have here is a member of the Rhododendron species (possibly the 'Ben Moseley' hybrid???
). It's pretty similar to an Azalea (in fact it might actually be an Azalea....I think all Azalea's are Rhododendrons, but a Rhododendron isn't always an Azalea. Owwww, I have a headache)!  Last edited by kinetic on Mon Oct 17, 2005 8:52 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Here is a link to a Rhododendron site...... http://www.rhododendron.org/descriptionH_new.asp?ID=956
Is this the same, if so yes it is a Rhododendron. I have this next to my house.
