I saw these in the flood debris line in our field and was going to look them up and never did. So that's bottlebrush!.

I saw these in the flood debris line in our field and was going to look them up and never did. So that’s bottlebrush!. I don’t know if I’ve added you to my fave or reader–they are all kind of blurring together right now–but if I haven’t your blog is going there–so be warned.

mlc,
Well those are the spore stalks. The green shoots are what most refer to as bottlebrush – almost ready to follow up on since they’re beginning to ‘leaf’ out.

Well you’ve been here so no sense warning you about me now.

What kind of camera do you use? Lens? Any tips on how you get such clear and vivid close-ups? <blockquote>Barbara, Panasonic - Lumix DCM-FZ28 (18 x zoom - 10 mega pixel) I chose it because the lens was Leica. Camera is a year old now so there are newer models out. Hold still. I use a mini tripod (about 6 inch high) Other than that I just point and shoot on my camera's close up (flower) mode.</blockquote> I am intrigued by your pictures. What kind of camera do you use?

Barbara,
Panasonic – Lumix DCM-FZ28 (18 x zoom – 10 mega pixel) I chose it because the lens was Leica. Camera is a year old now so there are newer models out.

Hold still. I use a mini tripod (about 6 inch high) Other than that I just point and shoot on my camera’s close up (flower) mode.
