My favorite is number one hundred fifty eight.

What lens did you use for this shot?

I used mostly the lens Sigma 105mm f/2.8D DG Macro and sometimes Sigma AF Super Wide 24mm 1:2.8. The pictures may be referred through last two numbers in the Internet address that appears on status bar when the mouse is hovering over the image, like 714/20. There are currently only 153 pictures. There could be more pictures for end of February.

You'll have to excuse me, I have a difficult time counting images, and when viewed from an iPhone, there is no way to identify image numbers unless you click on the image itself. Right now I am seeing 153 pictures.

You may consider posting fewer images in a thread so that each receives equal attention. There seem to be a bunch of good images in the series, but I am only able to focus on one or two of them because of the sheer number.

I thought I saw an image of a mantis looking directly at the camera, but now I can't find it.

Thanks for posting!

edit: I found it on my iPhone but not through Mozilla on the PC. The image file ends in 2009/698/jpeg/15.jpg

Thank you for comments. It seems that this series of images is too long. It was generated by a script. It may be still useful to give general impression for people who are going to visit the place in early spring.

I agree. Well put.

Because of a mistake, only half of available pictures was actually shown (only Holistic Garden, without Horticultural). All 254 pictures from both gardens could be seen on this web page.
