Inspired by coneflowers
I can always count on a visit to Olbrich Botanical Gardens when I’m in need of some inspiration.
Early yesterday evening, it was this patch of coneflowers.
Obligatory photo of tulips at the Capitol
I almost missed the tulips at the Capitol this year. While out biking today, I rode around the square, and noticed many of the tulips were past peak. There was one nice bed of red and yellow blossoms though. I figured, better take a shot now or wait until next year.

Magnolia season
After weeks of rain and cooler than normal temperatures, there seems to be a sudden explosion of flowers everywhere.
Purple crocus
At last, a concrete sign of spring! Although when I see these tiny, first blossoms of the year, it seems to me that Mother Nature is tentatively testing the change of season. As if she’s saying, “Let’s see how these small flowers do before I commit to anything bigger.”

A few moments in the tropics
One of my favorite things to do in the middle of winter, is spend some time in the conservatory at Olbrich Gardens.

Because sometimes a flower needs to make its own brightness.
