Nerve Plant

Nerve Plant     Fittonia Verschaffeltii Acanthaceae    from South America

Visited Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago, Illinois.  Have some nice photos, but upon review I would shoot some subjects differently next time.  I would get down low on the floor at the smallest plant level more of the time.  Might bring a rag rug on which to lie down.

There are hazards from getting down at plant level.  When taking a few parting photos I was on my hands and knees taking pictures of tiny silver dichondra.  A small stream coming from a nearby watered plant quickly turned into a creek and soaked my pant legs!
