I'm really bad at that.... Well, country-boy living in the big city now. Happily partnered since 1999. That about sums it up.... :)))
Well, having my granny babysitting me got me in touch with plants. She was working THREE gardens in the little village I grew up in (250 people makes it a village and me a hillbilly.....). Everything from Parsley to Cherries, from Dill to Gooseberries, from Dahlias to Gladiolas (her personal favorites); she had it growing!
I started collecting plants (especially succulents back then) when I was in my early teens.
The rest is history....

yanceyg says:
"Olaf is developing a reputation for his foliage photography. He understands plants, having been an avid grower his entire adult life. His photography is driven by his passion for fun and trying to capture pictures of his green friends.
I was fortunate enough to do an interview with Olaf on one of his pictures, "Victoria amazonica, The World's Largest Waterlilly."
You can read the interview here:

Expect this photographer to grow his skills at shooting foliage.
