Tulip time

Not until April, but here’s a quick peek at the unbelievably scenic Skagit Valley Tulip Festival north of Seattle, WA. I really love this image and I am calling it my weekly Top Shot.

Brugmansia flowers

Scrolling through my photo archives, I found this image of huge, tropical brugmansia (Angels Trumpet) flowers from an August 2010 shoot at Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory. See how the buds are yellow but the open flowers are pink? Wild, no?

Bird of paradise flower

This golden yellow is a more unusual color of bird of paradise, usually more orange. Talk about a showy flower! Taken at Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory, of course.

Winter flowers

In the Pacific Northwest, our mild climate means some things are actually blooming in late December, if you look hard enough.

Jerusalem sage macro

The June photos are very appealing in these gray December days. Here’s a macro of part of a Jerusalem Sage flower. See here for its full, goofy shape in the garden.
