Bulbine Frutescens

Steven I used Lightroom for initial editing, cropping of the first shot, then synced the next 8 with it. Then I opened as layers in Photoshop and followed an easy tutorial, but it took so very long in Photoshop to auto align the layers & auto blend. Then back into Lightroom for a couple minor tweaks.

Well, that's especially impressive if you can use PS. I think out of the 100's that I've tried, I maybe had 1 or 2 that actually produced acceptable results. I had much better luck with Helicon, but even that failed too many times for me to keep using it. It could be something I'm doing or not doing, but when I have images where an area is in focus and the software doesn't find it, that makes for a whole lot of inspection and additional work (which has the potential to push processing time up into the several hour range). I do love the results though - when it works.
