Paid our first visit to The Eden Project in Cornwall last month, Just a few snaps of the Flora that were around in Feb, I especially like the powder puff ball flower, in reality it is only 3 cm across but switching to macro gave me something that really looks alive.

Thanks Chocky

I enjoyed taking them, the slight haze on a couple was from the incredible humidity in the tropical dome, I must confess I would not fancy going mid summer.

I have to agree about the Powder puff ball flower. It is beautiful.
You were luck to be able to take photos in that humidity. In the butterfly farms one's camera lens just steams up I think you have done well there
