Spring in the Gardens

Ok – so I’m giving up on trying to organize posts by type of flower – and will just do it by season at least for a while. There are lots of posts with just a few photos lined up – and at the rate I’m going – I may never get enough photos for an entire post dedicated to a specific type of flower.

So –  here are some of the wonderful spring flowers and scenes I’ve photographed at various gardens over the years

Zinnias

Zinnias

Zinnias are one of summer’s most prolific flowers. It seems like every garden I seen in my area (including mine) has at least a few zinnias growing in it. They come in some many wonderful colors and combinations of colors. I thought I’d share a few zinnia photos with you today.

Asters are some of my favorite flowers – they come in so many wonderful colors and shapes. Here are a few photos of various asters that I’ve edited up but haven’t shared with you yet.
