by hankinslawrenceimages | Sep 1, 2016 | Asteraceae Family, Ericaceae Family, Flowers, Iridaceae Family

I wanted you to be the first to hear that I’ve added three brand new photographs to the store on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.

Dogwood in the Woods

You can all my new photos at http://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/new-photos-2/

I’ve also brought back several of my older aster photos for a limited time – they are all brightly colored round flowers presented as square photographs. They’ve sort of become known as my round on square photos. Several people have created fun groupings of these photos by choosing their favorite summer flowers.

These returning favorites will be available until Octobe4 31. After that – they probably won’t be available again until next summer.

New Photo: Song of Norway Iris

I’ve recently added a new photo – Song of Norway Iris – to the shop on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.

I love bearded irises. When I first saw the Song of Norway Iris I thought it was one of most beautiful irises I’ve ever seen. There was something about the shade of purle, the bit of white and the way the sun was highlighting it that I loved. And then I realized there were wonderful yellow tulips behind it – which just added a nice complementary color to the scene.

Song of Norway Iris is available as a matted print on my website.

Shades of Pink & Purple Irises

I love photographing irises. This spring I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days photographing irises at Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in New Jersey. There were literally hundreds of varieties of irises blooming when I visited. I photographed at least 60 different types of irises – so it’s going to take me several posts to share them with you.

Today I’ll be sharing the rest of my photos of irises in shades of pink & purple

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing all my iris photos from Presby Memorial Iris Gardens. I’ll be sharing some photos of irises taken at other gardens soon.

In the Studio: Lavender Siberian Irises

Earlier this year I photographed a wonderful set of lavender and yellow siberian irises in my studio. Things have been so crazy busy this year – that I only just had a chance to look at the files and edit some up. I thought I’d share them with you today.
