I’ve recently added a new photo – Pearl Hibiscus – to the shop on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.

I loved seeing this beautiful white with pink highlights Pearl Hibiscus on a visit to a local garden. It was such a bright cheery flower to see on the cold winter day when I photographed it.
Pearl Hibiscus is available as a matted print on my website.
I wanted you to be the first to hear that I’ve added seven new photos for spring to the store on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
The new photos include three tulips photographed in my studio,
two close-up photos of flowers,
and two black and white photos of Live Oak Trees
You can see them all in my webstore at http://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/new-photos-2/
I hope you’ve enjoyed this first look at my latest photos.
I always love seeing (and photographing) the Hibiscus blossoms at Longwood Garden. They always have several varieties on display and recently they’ve added some new varieties to the front row of the conservatory – which means – new and different hibiscus blossoms to photograph in addition to some old favorites
I thought I’d share some of the hibiscus blossoms I’ve photographed recently.

I’ve made a couple of visits to Green Spring Gardens recently and found some wonderful flowers to photograph. I thought I’d share some of those photo with you today.

I love photographing hibiscus blossoms – there’s something about their large petals with the ruffled edges that I can’t resist. I’ve created a new video for you with some of my favorite photos of hibiscuses. The photos are accompanied by Beethoven’s Fur Elise.
I hope you enjoy seeing my new video
I love seeing hibiscuses and their native relatives rosemallows blooming at the local gardens. Here in the DC area, there are several native mallows that bloom all summer long. Some hibiscuses can survive the winters here, but many are tropical plants that need to be indoors to survive.

I’m always looking for more members of the hibiscus family to photograph – when I find a few more – I’ll be sure to share them with you.
I do have several hibiscus photos for sale as matted prints – you can see them on my website at http://beautifulflowerpictures.com/collection/mallow/
