Some plants looks so lovely in person but are so hard to take photos of that can convey their pleasing character on to images.
I suppose it's not so much of an issue if you have a sophisticated camera and have the time to enhance images using a photo editing software, neither of which we have.
But sometimes all you need to do is to give such plants a helping hand. Like the airy Nandina domestica 'Filamentosa' below:
Nandina domestica 'Filamentosa'
Can't wait for it to get bigger!
And this Mahonia fortunei
Looks unique and distinctive from other mahonias - Mahonia fortunei
Rhododendron roxieanum var. oreonastes
variegated Phyllostachys aurea
Phyllostachys aurea 'Variegata'
Most plants however are complete show-offs, they don't need any helping hand and are ready to be photographed almost anytime like the Fatsia polycarpa below:
But these show-offs still needs the helping hand of a gardener to keep them looking good, in another way of course.
