Marvelous March Morning at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens

Last week I spent a marvelous morning photographing at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond, Virginia. I don’t get to Lewis Ginter as often as I’d like to (something about all the traffic on I-95) but when I do – I always have a wonderful time. Spring flowers bloom at least a week earlier in Richmond than they do in DC – so a trip in early March means I get to see and photograph spring flowers a little earlier than I would if I just stayed at home.

Here are a few of my photos from Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens from last week

Cum Laude Daffodils

Bloodroot – sanguinaria canadensis

Purple Crocuses

Dwarf Irises

And in the conservatory I found a wonderful Leopard Prince Phalaeonopsis Orchid to photograph

Now that spring seems to finally be arriving in the DC area – I’ll be out photographing locally more often. And I’ll admit – I’m ready to be out photographing on a more regular basis 🙂
