*happy I have a Digital Rebel dance!*

My new camera came today!!
Also, my pink mystery flowers bloomed today.
So I took a picture of them.
stoney321, oh Master Gardener Goddess that you are... What is this??
It's a thick straight stalk with several flowers all clustered on top.


The pictures are kinda dark because it was getting dark when I took them.


Camera comparisons:
The maximum zoom on my Canon G3 Point & Shoot:

The maximum zoom on my new Canon Rebel XT using my 70-300mm lens (blurry because of slow shutter speed though...)

Yes, you can cut them - the LEAVES are what make the food, and they'll show up soon.

Cut the stems at a 45 degree angle low to the ground, add a splash of sprite or 7up to the water, and they'll last longer.
