The greenhouse had a chrysanthemum exhibit. Even though the Conservatory was partially closed there was plenty of flowers to photograph in the garden.

This is a beautiful place! I was only there once and it was a very chilly winter day. The blooms you captured are stunning. What kind of macro lens do you use?!
Thank you very much. I took most of these with a Nikon D750 with a Tamron 28-300 mm lens. I can fake the look of a Macro with a short F stop. Some I took with my cell phone, a Samsung 10+ shooting Pro which makes DNG files. I do have a Macro lens but it is so heavy I didn’t want to carry it! If I am shooting birds I use a Sigma 150-600 mm. 🙂
Remarkable! They are wonderful close-ups. I also have a Sigma 150 to 600, but I found it very difficult to get clear hand-held shots. Do you use a tripod or a Mono pod?
I get good hand held shots with that long lens. I think the image stabilization works well. I try to use as fast a shutter speed as possible. That means I see noise from the higher ISOs but LR cleans it up pretty well.
Thanks for sharing that helpful info, Sherry!
A visual feast Sherry 🙂
Thank you. I post my best ones.
Gorgeous series!
Thanks Angela 🙂
Your variety of flowers are amazing!
Thanks to NYBG 🙂
Apart from the other flowers you feature, I had no idea one could get chrysanthemums in so many shapes and colours!
It is a lovely exhibit https://www.nybg.org/event/kiku-spotlight-tradition/
Such interesting and pretty flowers, and you have such stunning photographs. These would be perfect for greetings cards, they’re all so beautiful ♥

Thank you. I am touched by your compliment.
Now I know photographs can be tactile
You must have special new technology LOL. Thanks Derrick.
🙂
❤️❤️❤️ that stringy little flower, I’ve never seen anything like it before. Thanks Sherry.
Thanks. I think you mean the Chrysanthemums. They are about 6 inches in diameter.
The variety is really amazing. You captured them well.
I didn’t know there were so many varieties of Mums. Thanks.
A wonderful gallery, Sherry! That first image – cannot stop coming back to it – so beautiful, delicate and dreamy. It must have been a real treat to visit!
Thanks Lela. I’s extraordinary what varieties there are of chrysanthemums.
It is – and new ones are coming all the time.
