Yellowstone Gerbera Daisy © 2011 Patty Hankins
For years at shows and via email people would ask for photos of Gerbera Daisies. They are an incredibly popular flower. And my answer was always – I didn’t have any photos of Gerbera Daisies – and I didn’t know if I’d ever have them – since I prefer to photograph flowers where they are growing. That way I’m not interrupting the cycle of life by preventing insects and birds from pollinating the flowers, nor am I preventing anyone else from enjoying the same flowers that I’ve photographed by picking them. Most Gerbera Daisies I see in the Washington DC area are cut flowers at a florist or grocery store. Recently, at a local botanical Garden I found several varieties of Gerbera Daisies in full bloom. This Yellowstone Gerbera Daisy was in great shape, beautiful shades of bright yellow contrasting with the dark green leaves. I knew I’d found the first Gerbera Daisy that I’d be happy to offer as a photo on canvas for all the Gerbera Daisy lovers. So now – I’m in search of more varieties of Gerbera Daisy growing in the area for me to photograph.

Sunflowers All in A Row © 2011 Patty Hankins
As you probably know, the sunflower fields at McKee Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Poolesville, Maryland are one of my favorite summer photography spots. So often when I’m at McKee Beshers I feel like I’m standing in a field of sunflowers that goes on forever. With this photo, I tried to capture the feeling of endless sunflowers. I really liked the way the sunflowers recede into the distance adding a sense of depth to the photo. To say nothing of the fact that I just always want to smile when I see sunflowers – either in person or in a photograph. I hope these sunflowers brighten your day as much as they brighten up my day!

Salvia & Blanketflowers © 2011 Patty Hankins
Whenever I head to a new location to photograph wildflowers I always hope to find a field full of local wildflowers. When I spotted this set of Engelmann’s Salvia (Salvii Engelmannii) and Texas Blanketflowers (Gaillardia pulchella) I knew I’d found the scene that would represent a field of Texas wildflowers. The Salvia has wonderful shades of purple – that contrast so nicely with the bright yellow & red in the blanketflowers. I just smile everytime I look at this photo – it brings such great memories of the beauty I saw in Texas.

Sunflower Center © 2011 Patty Hankins
This is one of those photographs that I’ve been seeing in my imagination for a few years – and finally was able to create with my camera and share with you. I love sunflowers. Every summer Montgomery County plants at least one field of sunflowers at McKee Beshers Wildlife Management Area in Poolesville. I’ve photographed the flowers in the field several times, but I knew there were more photos waiting to be created there. I’m fascinated by the geometric patterns in the center of the sunflower, and how as the flower ages the center changes from the tight pattern to the circles of seeds that the birds love in the fall. I’d been wanting to create a photo with a tightly woven center, the beginnings of the seeds and the bright yellow petals. Finally this summer I found a sunflower in just the right light and in just the perfect stage of growth for the photo I’d been seeing in my mind. And so here it is – Sunflower Center. I hope you enjoy it.

Lotus Blossom IV © 2011 Patty Hankins
One of my favorite places to photograph in the summer is Kenilworth Gardens in Washington DC. They have the most incredible ponds full of lotus blossoms I’ve even seen. I try to visit Kenilworth a few times each summer. On every visit – I try to find a new angle to photograph the lotuses from – or to show something I haven’t shown before in my photos. What caught my eye with this blossom was how the pink petals were nestled in the curve of the lotus leaf. I also loved the way the sun was shining through the petals highlighting all the ribs and other details.

Texas Blanketflower © 2011 Patty Hankins
In May I was invited to Texas to photograph wildflowers on some private property one of my friends knew about. There were over 600 acres of woods, streams, fields and wildflowers. As you can imagine I spent a few wonderful days photographing there. One of the most common wildflowers in bloom was Blanketflowers – Gaillardia pulchella. I love the bright colors of these wild asters. They are related to the Arizona Sun Blanket Flowers I photographed a few years ago. This was the first of the Texas wildflowers I edited up after the trip – and it’s still one of my favorites.
