No matter if I’m photographing at a local garden – or hiking in a national park looking for wildflowers – one of the first things that catches my eye is a splash of color. Once I stop to see what the splash of color is – I often find a beautiful flower to photograph – especially in the spring.
After a winter of browns, grays and greens – the colors of the flowers are one of my favorite aspects of spring. Here in the DC area, there is a wonderful progression of flowers and colors. We start with pansies and crocuses – in yellow, blues and whites. These are followed by the daffodils in all their wonderful shades of yellow. And then come the tulips – in just about any color you can imagine.
One my favorite tulips is the Princess Irene Tulip. These wonderful flowers contain practically an entire rainbow of colors – a soft yellow & orange petals – with splashes of red, pink, purple and green. All by themselves, the Princess Irene Tulips sum up the explosion of spring colors after the long winter.
I decided that Princess Irene Tulips would be my November 2012 Photo of the Month, so that you can bring this splash of spring into your home before winter sets in. Until November 30, SAVE 20% off the regular prices for Princess Irene Tulips.
