I love taking pictures of plants, although most of mine are still in the garden.
Fruits, vegetables, and flowers are among the most popular still life subjects in art, especially painting but also photography. They are cheap and plentiful, with interesting colors and shapes. The long crooked stem particularly caught my eye as something I've seen in paintings.
I also enjoy taking pictures of dead things, and dead flowers are often very interesting. Some still life paintings use dead or dying flowers, or bare stems, or seed pods and pinecones.
