I’ve recently added a new photo – Rainbow Sorbet Roses – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
Rainbow Sorbet Roses are one of my favorite roses to photograph. Every blossom is a wonderful combination of bright yellows and pinks. Earlier this summer I found this set of Rainbow Sorbet Roses on one rose bush at a local botanical garden. I loved the way the different colors and stages of blossoming show the range of looks you can see in this one type of rose.

I’ve recently added a new photo – Pink Dahlia – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
I love the simplicity of some members of the aster family such as this pink dahlia. Just layers of soft pink petals surrounding a bright yellow center. Does nature get any more beautiful than this?

I’ve recently added a new photo – Fantasy Tulip – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
Wow! Talk about an amazing tulip! This past spring I saw my first Parrot Tulips – these are the tulips with the ruffled petals and often wild color combinations. My favorite Parrot Tulip that I photographed was this Fantasy Tulip. I love the combination of reds, pinks and greens in the petals – and how one tulip in sharp focus stands out from the rest of the tulips in the photo.

I’ve recently added a new photo – Jason Hibiscus – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
I love hibiscuses. They are one of my favorite flowers to photograph since they have a unique shape. With their large petals and stamens that stick straight out – hibiscuses have a three dimensional structure that few other flowers have. And this makes them great fun to photograph! I love trying to convey the sense of depth of the blossoms, while still preserving the fascinating details of the flowers. This Jason Hibiscus caught my eye as I was visiting a local garden. Between the bright yellow petals and stunning red center, I knew I had to photograph it!

I’ve recently added a new photo – Purple Streaker Iris – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
I recently spent some time photographing at the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in New Jersey. I’d heard they had a spectacular collection of irises – spectacular doesn’t even begin to describe what I found. Irises in colors and combinations of colors I’d never seen before. One of the first to catch my eye – and probably my favorite iris I photographed that day – was the Purple Streaker Iris. I thought the patterns of purple and white in the petals were incredible. With a little research, I discovered that the Purple Streaker Irises are what are known as broken color irises – where each one is different from the next due to genetic instability in the plants.

I’ve recently added a new photo – English Garden Rose – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
There is nothing like the unfolding petals of a rose just beginning to bloom. I spotted this wonderful English Garden Rose just as it was starting to bloom in the early morning light at a local garden – and knew I had to photograph it. I loved the way the soft shades of pink, peach and yellow blend together in this wonderful flower.
