Virginia Bluebells © 2014 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Virginia Bluebells II – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
One of the sure signs of spring here in the Washington DC area is when the Virginia Bluebells (mertensia virginica) bloom in the woods. One of my favorite places to photograph the bluebells and other spring wildflowers is along the C&O Canal in Maryland. It’s one of the spots where I can find any number of wildflowers blooming on any given day – toothwort, spring beauty, dutchman’s breeches, squirrel corn – and of course – Virginia bluebells. What attracted me to this particular plant was the pattern of the three clusters of blossoms and the mix of pinks and blues in the clusters. To me, it just said SPRING IS HERE!!!!
And as we head into winter here in the DC area – I’m already looking forward to photographing the Virginia Bluebells next spring 🙂
This photograph is available as a matted print in two sizes. You can order Virginia Bluebells II from my website.
