The Taj Mahal, Agra, India (between 1910 and 1920)
Captain Sharma left a complimentary comment with regard to my brother’s cactus pictures linked to in an earlier post. Being a curious person, I like to visit sites belonging to my visitors. I was well rewarded on this occasion.
Captain Sharma is a professional photographer in India and has a lot of really wonderful nature photographs, with a particular interest in snakes, as well as other subjects. He provides interesting information on the Indian Army, Sikhs and his own world perspective.
I recommend a visit to his website.

Gynmocalycium denudatum (April 17, 2009)
My brother who cultivates cactii sent me this very nice non-lethal cactus. Click on the picture to see a slideshow of his cactus flowers from March. They’re really amazing.

Early variety of tulip, April 17, 2009.
I decided it might be nice to try to identify the varieties of tulips I have. Smart would have been creating a notebook or something to keep track of them when I planted them but …
Tulipa seems the likely category but which one? Who knew there were so many tiny tulips?
In addition to pretty swell flower pictures, Digital Flower Pictures also gives biographical information about the particular plants. This tulip is spectacular. A link in the related post led me to The Pacific Bulb Society which has been helpful in my quest to identify my tulips.
The Pacific Bulb Society wiki is a project of the members of the pbs list.
This list is composed of people around the world who are interested in gardening with bulbs (more broadly geophytes, as we include all plants with an underground storage organ such as bulbs, corms, rhizomes, tubers.) The pbs wiki gives everyone an opportunity to share information and pictures and to update and add to the work of others.
It looks to be quite a good resource for finding the flower you’re looking for or simply admiring the wonders of nature.
