Here are some of the items with shades of orange in the garden.
Top view of Moon Cactus.
With barely any care for the last 6 months, this yellow-orange moon cactus still look gorgeous, doesn't it?
Marigold
They are grown in between cabbage plants.
I don't know exactly what the marigold did, but I certainly managed to harvest all my cabbages this time and in good shape too.

Geiger Flower Tree
A row of these trees are grown by the developer in front of my house.
They look good from this direction.
Lots of fallen dried leaves and fruits on the opposite direction.

Canna
These are thriving despite daily rain last month and rainless days this month.
Titty Fruit (Solanum mammosum)
These are not edible but I think they look cute.
Fungi
See the peace symbol?
We use our fingers, the bug uses its antennae.

Fish
It's purpose is to ensure no mosquito larvae in my lotus pot.
Sometimes I scoop up some of the water and fish waste to add to the compost pile.
My favourite orange items would have to be these 3 dragonflies.
I have yet to see them catch their prey.
So far, I've only seen a spider eating a caterpillar and a praying mantis eating a fly.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Well, you really out did yourself. This post is wonderful. I am not sure which is my favorite, the canna or the dragonflies. The fungi with the little bug (I saw right away) was pretty too. I think the dragonflies win. They are like right out of National Geographic.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos! The dragonfly is the best, of course ;)
ReplyDelete*hugs*deb
What beautiful photos. Love the vibrant oranges and how you tied it all together.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos, you are a very talented photographer. I love the fungi, with the cute little bug.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever grown peter peppers?
You grow a lotus in a pot of water? Have you posted about it? I want to do that.
My orange marigold died on me :(
ReplyDeleteYour dogs make life wonderful, haha.
After 2 weeks, I am still waiting for my marigold seeds to germinate and they seem to have lost in space. Your canna looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteSo many great illustrations of the color. I think my favorite one is of the fungi - you have managed to make it looks beautiful!
ReplyDeletea real nice orange collection. Truly amazing to see such a simple plants can give so much impact in the garden.
ReplyDeleteNow, we lost out of serendipity except the last one where we commented next to each other in one of the sites, forgot if its Autumn Belle's or whose! I always say this, one thing i dont forget, your photos are improving everyday, to my envy. Even if the subject is ordinary your photos make them exceptional. Imagine, even Donna of GWGT, who is a good photographer appreciate this!!! That mushroom i see also here during the rainy season, and those dragonflies but i can't take their photos as clear as this. And i haven't made a collage like that one! haha. One of these days, i will.
ReplyDeleteI love orange in the garden, though I will have to wait at least a month to see marigolds blooming. Extraordinary photographs of the insect life.
ReplyDeleteWow !!! The pictures with the dragonfly are amazing. And the dogs are very funny.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures! After years of wanting more and more purple, now we need lots of orange to fo with it! Love esp that mottled canna's bloom.
ReplyDeleteLoved your photography one especially those solanum fruits and the fungi. I just love capturing fungi and just wait till you see the one I captured last night only I need to id it before I blog it. Those dragon flies are my favourite and they are so hard to photograph. I've got a separate submission to Fabulous Friday this week.
ReplyDeleteDragonfly pics are very good!
ReplyDeleteI am just now beginning to appreciate more and more orange flowers in a garden...Like Cyndy, I've been about other flower colors! gail
ReplyDeleteAlthough not a favourite colour of mine these are lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love orange. The shot of the fungi was especially neat.
ReplyDeleteNice theme: orange, my school colors. osu. like the fungi, you must have got pretty small to get that one...lol
ReplyDeletewell that cactus certainly caught my eye!! it is very bright and pretty from this angle! Your shades of orange post is very nice!!! I am glad you linked in this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, what beautiful orange colors you are showing today.The Geiger flowering tree and the Canna are so lovely. Have a winderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and garden visitors!
ReplyDeleteawwwwwww...the beauty of spring...awesome shots...thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeletegreat shots. Love your shades of orange. I especially love your moon cactus.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers. And the dragonfly is very beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteFun post, thanks. It reminded me of the marigold seeds I need to get out and plant before the rain.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this! Psychiatrists say orange is the color of insanity and if that be true then I'm as crazy as a loon. What fun enjoying these gorgeous shots! :))
ReplyDeleteYou must have a great deal of patience to gain photos like the ones of the dragonflies. I enjoyed them all! Thanks for sharing! ~~Rhonda :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!!! I love the bug photos. I love to take pictures of dragonflies. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteYou always post about such unusual and interesting things! Titty fruit? I loved the shot of the cactus - it took me awhile to figure out what it was:) I am looking forward to reading a post on skipper.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very interesting fungi picture! Loved the little bug, too. And I was trying to recall if I've ever seen an orange dragonfly. Not sure - I'll have to be on the lookout for one!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great collection of oranges. Everything seemed so exotic and beautiful! A few favorites would be the fungi, the dragonflies and the Canna.
ReplyDeleteThose really came out great!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE you pictures! I can't wait to look at your blog more. This is great. I joined in the FFF this time-my first time this year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! So glad I found you!
ReplyDeleteOne, Orange is one of my favorite colors in the garden so I loved your post but the orange insects were the best. Carolyn
ReplyDeleteI think that you would enjoy researching companion planting: partnering plants that benefit each other, such as planting marigolds in between cabbages to keep nasty insects off of them. We always plant dozens of marigolds in the garden. If you didn't have the little green worms drilled into your cabbages or the little white cabbage butterflies floating above your cabbages, it might be due the marigolds.
ReplyDeleteLove the oranges. I like your color theme; amazing what you find when you seek. Here, only daffodils are putting on a show. The fruit trees are about to burst forth in bloom. South of us the flowering trees are beginning their show. So If I were to look for color in the yard it would still be basic brown.
Beatiful Photos! I have put a link to your blog on my latest blog. Hope that's ok. Happy gardening.

Gorgeous photos! Thanks for the name of the Titti Fruit. Saw the plant growing around my neighbourhood a couple of months ago, the cute tiny bell-liked fruits certainly caught my attention and I always wondered whether can they be eaten!
ReplyDeleteYour orange has warmed me on this cold April day...love orange in the garden...
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos of the dragonfly. I'm always amazed when people catch such wonderful close ups of bugs, they tend to fly away as soon as I"m near.
ReplyDeleteThis is orange year. Last year red? I thought you did underwater photography with your first shot. P.S. I am linking my newest post to yours.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful orange shots - so lovely. And yes, I see the peace sign - such a fun shot!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed!
Love them!
Great macro, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow, I'm following right back!
Great idea for a series. Love the color orange.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful and awesome shots of the insects. Gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme, wonderful series of shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and colourful post!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteVery striking and colourful. Those insect shots are so clear. You can see them in such incredible detail.
ReplyDeleteOne, beautiful pictures of all the orange in your gardens. Love the fungi and the dragonflies, your photography skills are amazing!
ReplyDeleteZ wszystkiego pomarańczowego najbardziej podobają mi się ważki. Zresztą wszystkie zdjęcia śliczne a psy kochane. Pozdrawiam
ReplyDeleteNice set of shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Camera Critters post. I'm glad you enjoyed the Dove butt shot because it was clearest. The others weren't as clear because as I explanined I was shooting through a window. Since I wasn't posting on my photoblog I don't mind that the crispness isn't there - only the story. :)
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWould you come and see my critters? Thank you!
Great photos! I love the fungi with the little bug; I had to look twice! Orange is a great accent color in the garden. After your comment about the cabbages, I will definitely be planting marigolds amongst the vegetables.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors, pure delicacy, a deliciously exquisite beauty.
ReplyDeleteLove the fungi photo! You must live somewhere warm and tropical - lucky you ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! Thank you for participating in Fabulous Friday!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful... I thought that fungi has exotic colour!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Love the dragonfly photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual orange gallery! I enjoyed each single photo. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch vivid, colourful photos. I really enjoyed veiwing them.
