Sunflower in shadow
Because sometimes a flower needs to make its own brightness.
Floral rainbow
More vibrant colors from the farmers’ market.
First sign of summer
Waiting on the wind
That weed & feed I put on my lawn certainly seems to have done a good job feeding the weeds.
Crabapples blooming
I celebrated Earth Day today by hiking through the Arboretum.
In the horticultural gardens, the blooming crabapple trees seemed to be at their peak.
Bleeding heart blossoms
Someday I’d like know why the blossoms of the bleeding heart evolved to that shape. These are from the perennial beds in front of my house.
Laughing iris
When I see irises close up, sometimes they look as if they’re laughing hysterically with their tongues hanging out. Maybe this one’s just happy spring came early this year?
Snowdrops
Two weeks ago, a snow storm brought five inches of snow to Madison.
With the summer-like, record temperatures we’re now experiencing, snowdrops were the only snow I could find on the ground today.
October blossoms
I don’t think of late October as being a good time for flowers.
But when I visited Olbrich Gardens this afternoon, I saw some gorgeous autumn blossoms, like these zinnias.
