    I have seen these in the shops, but had no idea that they had such striking blooms. That changes everything: I thought of them as novelties that would soon lose my interest. Nice variation in the leaf colors, and nice stack. The nit I will pick is wanting the top edge to also be in focus.

    Thanks Ron Top edge easily sorted. The flowers only last a day Great to keep as you only need to water them once a years. Have won first in our local show with the same pan of these for five years !!
    Thanks

    What remarkable plants these are I have never seen the like before. A good result the definition and colors looks good.
    How big are they, they look small. What if you were a little less close and used f16? I appreciate that stacking is intended to give the effect of greater DOF just wondered if you have compared the results?? Maybe I should investigate stacking again!

    Hi Jon
    Yes I;ve tried that and various other combinations. I admit with modern gear we can afford to keep back a bit which I usually advocate anyway. If I stop down they just seem to lack that final "punch" that stacking seems toget. Its good fun anyway

    I love the succulents. The bright coloured flower looks out of place on a dessert plant-nature never cease to amaze. The stacking worked very well.

    Incredibly wonderful! I had no idea they bloomed -- how outrageous!!

    The gentle falloff in focus at the top doesn't bother me, in fact I like it.
