This is a shot of my acacia from last year. If we don't get serious frost in the next few weeks it will virtually explode in flowers, again. I'm looking forward to this.
Beautiful flower, beautifully shown... Thank you!

@Fotoptikon: One of my favourites - I love its delicate leaves and bright yellow flowers.
Lovely shot!

@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: Thank you! Fortunately I'm living in a warmer part of Germany, so cultivation of this plant is not a problem :)
nice shot! hope you will get to catch the blooms too!

@kairospix: Thank you! This will be in February and you'll be able to watch them, then :-)
Great capture and use of DOF!

@Marco: I'm living in Düsseldorf, nearby the river Rhine. Climate here is quite warm. It's still a bit risky to nurse exotic plants here (especially in winter) but my acacia is still doing fine. Thanks for commenting!
sharp and beautiful colors. Lovely

@Laurent: A strong grower! I'll need a zoom objective in a few years! ;-)
Grossartig! Hast du nen sehr grossen Garten?

@Michael: *lol* Neee, nur ein gutes Makro :-D Steht alles auf dem Balkon - der ist zugegebenermaßen recht groß (so 8m lang). Und die Artendichte ist hoch!
vivid image - looks very dimensional

@Jason Kravitz: Thanks a lot - I like to share my botanical treasures :-)
I have something with acacias. Its yellow is soo typical for the plant, and it's also kind of cute. BTW you wrote in your about that these activities are "useless" things, far from that!!

@Illuci: Thanks for your polite comment! I'm trying to live a "l'art pour l'art" approach, something you can easily provoke folks in Germany, therefore the "useless". I'm fine with that :-)
Nice macro! Well done!

@Porcsin: Thanks! This one was a quite lucky shot because I didn't use a tripod and the twigs were always moving.
Lovely shot! Warms my heart... it is so cold here!

@Sandrine: Thank you so much! Here it's less cold but all grey in grey. It will take some time, but spring will come! Until then, I'll provide more summer shots!
Yes, look very similar to my trees, excepting for the leaves shapes :-) Thanks for the visit. See you soon!

@M. Isabel: There are 1300 different Acacia species :-)
Beautiful. The yellow flowers are really poping up. Nice colors combination with blue and green.

@akarui: Thanks. I never expected them to flower when they developed in November last year. But due to a mild winter, there was no loss and now they all start blooming :-)
