Houseplants, suggestions on photo equipment

[willyb2]

I have seen this disease in my houseplants... I would love to post pics... Can anyone recommend a good, cheap piece of equipment or software???? I am pretty ignorant about what's out there as far as micro-photography goes.

Hello, and welcome to the site. Can I ask you to please explain yourself more clearly on this. What do you mean you see this on your house plants?

Well, umm, all I can say is that I have houseplants, and I look into their 'flowers' with my 30x scope, and I find those same morgie fibers in the plants. I've been seeing them there for awhile, and I used to think that they were from the environment, and then i could rest easy and live life without the worry of 'Morgellon's disease'. However, the other day I looked, and I found fibers that grew from one petal of the flower into another petal, and nearby I saw 10 more fibers (all white in color) connecting petals together. Nearby sitting on top of the petals are the red, blue, and white fibers, inconspicuously just sitting there. It is weird that most of the plant seems normal, and when I start seeing the fibers, it seems that that part of the plant has undergone a slight change in color. Pictures are worth a thousand words. My plants caught this disease from me. My boy has it, too. I have had this since at least 1991, my houseplants I acquired 2 years ago, and my boy is 4 years old. I have a 6 year old daughter, but my boy is more affected by this than she is.

Anyways, I am interested in purchasing photography equipment to enable me to show the rest of the world. I know that it won't change people's minds on how they see this disease, but it might help, plus I might feel better doing it.
I'm looking for something for a couple hundred bucks that would enable me to post pics at 30x magnification
I have to log... be back in 20 hours or so....

willyb2 all I will say is that you are welcome to the site and to ask questions for yourself and son. But I would refrain from commenting on your houseplants for now please. All we need now is to have people worry about giving plants morgellons disease now. I am sure 95% of people would agree we are not spreading morgellons disease to plants. Although I welcome new ideas here to a point. This is a bit to much. I would focus more on getting support and some relief here. Thanks

Hi,

About the house plants I spray my down with enzymes. This seems to work the leaves look greener and much more vibrant. I am only down to one and I almost got rid of it but, I just couldn't because it makes me feel good. I buy flowers also and they die fast, I look inside them and they are covered with this black stuff I feel we should be just aware as our environment in "ALL" areas as well as ourselves. We need pretty things and green around for extra oxygen! Good luck on the pictures I would personally would love to see them.
