A page for wildflower and hiking enthusiast. A lot of my pictures, both wildflowers and scenery, come from the beautiful Tennessee State Parks. I use the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center for my description of native plants. All non-native plants will use someone else for the description.

Hairy Bittercress or Hoary Bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta)
Are you taking these great pictures with a true "macro" lens or with a lens that has "macro-like" as I am told my Tamaron 18-270 has with my Canon? I think these are true macro because you get focus at such an "up close" distance. For such a little flower, it is interesting with its seed pods and "almost-opposite" leaves. I have been trying to ID this for the past year and now "ta-da". Got it.
Yes Tom, I use a "true" Macro lens, two as a matter of fact. I use a Cannon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM and a Cannon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM. I am starting to use the 100mm more because of its lighter weight. It also has an extremely sharp focus and great Bokeh.
