Enjoyed the 'Art In Bloom' exhibit at the #NorthCarolina Art Museum. Artists are tasked with creating a floral display that represents a picture or grouping of pictures. Here are a few I loved. I've tried to show the floral display with the art piece it represents.





A flower for this wet Friday

For #FlowerFriday I have chosen to showcase the #TulipTarda which is a wild dwarf species that is #perennial and self seeding. The showy clumps have a honey fragrance and a buttery yellow star with a cream edging that remind me of #friedeggs.

For today's #FlowerFriday, a wild iris after the rain (or - most likely - dew).
#PurpleRain

Japanese jasmine๏ผthough native to South China and Vietnamยท Like winter jasmine๏ผblooms right after winter.

Bought some lovely Ranunculus today. Weird name, beautiful flowers.
Ranunculus are hardy Springtime bloomers, which like to be planted in winter. They are perennials that can be left in the ground, or the bulbs can be recovered, stored, and planted the following year, like annuals.
They bloom 3-4 weeks, require full sun, and produce gorgeous blooms. They're also deer resistant!

The woods in #Guelph #Ontario Canada were filled with both the white and red #Trillium #wildflowers that covered the forest floor beautifully in #spring. This particular patch was quite lovely with the fallen trees framing the Trillium patch and the dappled light highlighting these gems.

#FlowerFriday: A #photograph of a dark pink #marshmallow #flower. The #mallow #plant is closely related to both the #ornamental #hibiscus and the #agricultural crop #okra.
In the past, the confectionery marshmallow was originally thickened with an extract from the #plantโs roots.
Now, marshmallows are stabilized by gelatin or pectin.

Like a monarch to a milkweed
I made a bee line to Palmer's
It's just five minutes away
They are lovely people
A family making a living
On flowers and heavenly smells
Spring demanded my attention
Who am I to say no?
Within an hour-ish of Bradenton FL? Spring Open House at Palmer's Orchids! WORTH it! A local Mexican family is there cooking authentic food. :)

Spring is a glorious time of year with the gardens bursting with color and there is nothing brighter in the spring garden than yellow #Tulips, Tulipa. Giving a gift of yellow Tulips means "there's sunshine in your smile" or "cheerfulness."

#UnderTheFloralSpell

I had a ranunculus flower that was slowly changing color from a reddish purple to a bluish purple. I think I've exaggerated the blue a bit, but that's what you get to do, they call it poetic license๐
It comes in fine, art prints, and more....

Spring is here! From this morning: a Padre or Cleveland Shooting Star (Primula clevelandii) in a meadow glistening with morning dew.
Photographed at 500mm with "Big Bertha", my 200-500 telezoom. Being further away from the flower (minimum focusing distance is ~6 feet with this lens) helps to have more sparkly stuff in the out-of-focus areas in front of the flower. :)

It's Friday, so that means I will post some flowers #flowerfriday . I think I unconsciously painted this in the colors of a beautiful sunset. For the last few years, I've been excited about using rose gold in my art. In order to achieve the color, I just took some gold gouache paint, and mixed it with some rose. It took me a while to figure that out..LOL

Every 4th of July a family reunion is tradition. Of course, I love seeing all the relatives but I always enjoy a visit to my aunt that lives in the country. She has not only great flowers all around but lots of yard decorations, too. This plant was growing next to a shed and I really didn't notice the spider silk until I uploaded it to my computer....and it looked like it wasโฆ

happy #FlowerFriday from this interesting pale-pink orchid i saw at a garden store in hilo, hi ๐ฅฐ
For this #FlowerFriday we have the simple but elegant white Daisy! The #Daisy is associated with #innocence, modesty, stability and #cheerfulness. The famous " he loves me, he loves me not" method where people pluck out the petals to tell loves fortune was first used with the Daisy.

...a couple more medinillas at a garden store:
1) Medinilla 'Florinella Bella' (i can't tell the difference between "florinella bella" and medinilla magnifica? maybe the magnifica has that "shield" on top and this one doesn't?
2) Medinilla scortechinii
@natevw pretty! btw, people here on masto are trying to make #FlowerFriday happen.
this is medinilla lalique, the more modest cousin of the bright & showy medinilla magnifica.
this plant has delicate pale white, purplish flowers that are partially see-through!
i don't usually buy ornamentals, but i made myself a treat last month & got this ๐ฅฐ
The back of the #Sunflower is quite pretty and this one is looking towards the field of Sunflowers. You can't look at bright yellow Sunflowers and feel sad.Their big, bright faces seem to be smiling at you on a summer day as they slowly turn towards the sun

Seems like it's almost obligatory to post a "first crocus" photo so here's mine. This is a "volunteer" in my lawn and I don't know where it came from. It's unlike the ones in my flower beds. It's one of my markers to indicate the changing of the seasons. Very early this year. Last year it bloomed on March 7. Of course it was 70 degrees F (21 C) here today! NOT NORMAL for New England!

@doctorjaymarie Here's a Phacelia minor (Calif. bluebell) for ya. But it ain't spring yet. Another couple of months before I see these guys in my garden again. At least for me, photography is seasonal. It makes it special to have a spring season and fall season. Celebrate the seasons! But a #FlowerFriday is cool too. (Getting pretty sick of the cold and snow, I am...)
Every so often when I put my intention to paint using a limited pallet, it actually works. This time I stuck with the blues and the greens.

This classic, elegant, pure white #Clematis, Henryi, blooms all summer and is quite showy on the trellis or arbor. Clematis like their "head" in the sun and their "feet" in the shade so a rock at the base of the vine or another plant helps to shade the roots.

Closeups of the week from our garden
* Tufted Leaf Sedge (Cyperus eragrostis)
* The Sea Holly (Eryngium 'Blue Hobbit') stems just keep getting bluer!
* After the Smoke Bush (aka Cloud Tree - Cotinus 'Grace') has flowered, it leaves these wispy structures for a little while
* Gaura lindheimeri (I think it's Siskiyou Pink).

Best viewed expanded. Like all my photos taken outside, in situ, this one in the North Woods of Wisconsin.
For #FlowerFriday, a hashtag I hope becomes a regular weekly thing.
This picture is one of my favorites. Itโs pretty simple and kind of just looks like a default desktop wallpaper but I didnโt do anything to the colors. They just looked like that.

My slowest and longest #PhotographyProject is photographing native plants in San Diego County. The latest "plant portrait" that I added is one for Palafoxia arida, commonly known as Desert Needle.

What's special to me about the Acton Arboretum is the large swath of forest devoted to cultivate wildflowers, many species I'd never seen before. I was fond of this flower, which looks like a columbine to me, though I hadn't seen that shade before.
