I'm not a flower, plant or insect person so other than colorful and pretty I have no idea what they are. I just finished up PPing last Wednesdays shoot where the theme was creative and/or red. We were at a local greenhouse and figured I would try my hand using the Kenko macro tubes and Magic Lanterns focus stacking. Most seemed to work but a couple look like they missed a few steps. I invite pixel peepers to c&c on the results. My intent was to get the entire stem or main part of the flower in focus. All were done with natural light inside the greenhouse. For the most part I am quite pleased.

You did well. The red family of colors are hard to capture well. I read recently that some reds contain Neon, which explains the difficulty in capturing their natural colors.

Identifications:
1 = Petunia
2 - may be a variety of a cosmos.
3-7 = Hibiscus
I have no clue what 8 or 9 are.

#8 is a geranium and #9 a mandevilla. All beautiful shots IMO, Peter, and it looks like you accomplished your goal with the stacking.
