Lotus Blossom III (c) 2011 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Lotus Blossom III – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Every summer I make sure to plan a few visits to Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens to photograph the lotus blossoms (Nelumbo nucifera). When I’m at a show in the DC area, I’m always amazed at how few people know about Kenilworth Gardens. It is a National Park in Washington, DC. They have about 20 sunken ponds full of lotuses and water lilies. If you like water flowers, you really should plan a visit to Kenilworth Gardens in the summer. It is always a wonderful place to visit.
This photograph is available as either a 10 X 10 or 20 X 20 ″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Lotus Blossom III from my website and I will have it available at shows.

Madame A Meilland Rose (c) 2010 Patty Hankins
What can I say about this rose – other than it was one of the most beautiful roses I’ve ever seen. In the early morning light – the soft pinks and yellows just glowed. I love the way the petals curled back as they were opening. The rose is a Madame A. Meilland Hybrid Peace Tea Rose.
Madame A. Meilland Rose is available as either an 12X18″ or 20X30″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Madame A. Meilland Rose from my website and I will have it available at shows this year.

Ice Punch Poinsettia (c) 2010 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Ice Punch Poinsettia – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Ice Punch Poinsettia is the fourth in a series of four poinsettia photographs that I am introducing this fall. Even before I saw the identification tag for this poinsettia, the red and white patterns reminded me of the patterns ice makes as water freezes. Ice Punch Poinsettia is one of the most dramatic flowers I’ve had the chance to photograph.
This photograph is available as a 10X10″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Ice Punch Poinsettia from my website and I will have it available at shows in October and November this year.

This photograph is available as a 10X10″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order DaVinci Poinsettia from my website and I will have it available at shows in October and November this year.
