I have been on a plant photography rampage of late. And this is not something that I had planned to do; it just came as a ripple effect of work-related trips out of town. I have so far visited three areas that provide a perfect ground for those interested in taking photos of plants, and flowers to be specific.
See, i had decided to embark on a small pet project of chronicling a vast number of flowers that grow locally and segment them according to the locations they are found. This is in addition to researching on their names (both common and scientific) as well as their IUCN list status.
The two places I have found to be resourceful to this end are Entim along Ngong-Suswa road in Kajiado County, Isinya in Kajiado County, Kesogon in Trans Nzoia County and Naivasha in Nakuru County. These locations provide a mix of both indigenous and exotic plant species and flower types for anyone interested in this field. To get the best views and variety, it would be prudent to visit these places during the rainy season as it is at this point that most flowers would have bloomed. Since I visited the places in the course of my work assignment, I plan to go back for a photography venture. You are welcome to tag along if you/re interested. I’m planning one late this month (June 2019) or early next month (July 2019). I also plan to add other locations to this list to broaden the scope of places to visit.
@obunga great that you are doing this - take a look at Google Lens embedded in the Google Camera app for plant identification. It is fairly good at it.
