I know Craig sent me Ostara...and the pads next to the bloom don't necessarily belong to the bloom because 3 lilies are in the one 24' pot.
Savannah's lilies are not in this pot but in separate 12' pots about 6' away from this pot to the North.
Thanks Lawanna, I'll keep your offer in mind.

mcp...right now I am using a $69.00 Radioshack managers special, it's an Olympus FE-120, 7.1 megapixels, with image stabilization.
Was the demo model, discontinued. I was on a job and my big Nikon D200 died :'( so the Radioshack was 5 minutes away. I ran in, ran out with a camera,
and back to the job in less than 20 minutes. I don't think anyone noticed I was gone, they figured I was walking around taking pix.

But I also use ALL the functions, read the manual, used trial and error and also use the meter properly,
use manual white balance, and think about my composition/lighting before I take a pic. I can also crop down pix for a better comp too.
And it's all about lighting. Basically, never, ever take pix into the sun unless you are going for that lens glare, washed out look.
Keep the sun at your back or over one shoulder. As long as it is coming from behind you or from the side and lighly behind you.
Natural light is the best. In full sun, I often use the flash to illuminate the shadows better.
I take every shot with at least 2 different settings, often many more using both auto and manual settings.
Then when I am downloading, I choose the best shot.
