Lilac Buds

Did you see the photo I posted several days ago? These are the same lilac buds that have grown and are now showing some purple.

I plan photographing them as they grow and become flowers.

Spring is coming way too early this year.

These small sorts won’t show their true beauty until late August.

Backlit Black Eyed Susan’s

It’s always fun to photograph on my days off from my day job.

More time to explore and watch the light. These backlit dried black eyed susan’s caught my eye today.

Zinnia

This dried zinnia has endured winter and continues to hold onto its petals and seeds. At times the wind speed has been 50mph.

Snow Dusted Hydrangea

It was an extremely windy day today and about an inch of snow. Winter isn’t over in SE Iowa.

Strawberry Mint

I grow strawberry mint, chocolate mint and peppermint. All are being overwintered in my basement under grow lights.

Pink Lady Apple Tree

I’m amazed some of the leaves are still clinging on. My Grand Gala Apple Tree is bare. Both are too young to bloom this year, maybe next year.

Lilac Budd

The very beginning of lilac buds are starting to show. It’s the end of February and way too early for lilacs to start budding.

Dried Flowers
I’m amazed at how many of my flowers are hanging onto color.

My new goal is to photograph plant material from my yard every day for 30 days.

Black Eyed Susan’s still showing some color. How is that possible when we have had frigid cold temperatures below 0?
