Fascinating plants. Well exposed and nicely rendered with great color. But I have to wonder if you might gain something by departing from the full vertical here and there. On the other hand, perhaps you were striving for a uniform presentation. That's how it would be done for a plant guide, and your accompanying message suggests that you are approaching this from a botanical point of view. In any case, I found the gallery interesting.
I believe I shot one of these in Pasadena, California's Huntington Gardens some years ago. I'll take a look tomorrow.
