Question on Photography of our flowering bulbs

Justin,

You can take two pictures: ungroomed and groomed.

I take a picture of the whole scene to show the terrain, then a bit
closer to show the type of vegetation, closer again to show the entire
target plant, then various close-ups of flowers, leaves, any
identifying aspects (which differ for each kind of plant). I groom
the site for some of the close-up photos, but some of the messy stuff
is important for understanding the plant you are photographing. For
example, a pine cone that has fallen next to it gives important
information about where the plant grows.
