Wisteria

So this post was going to be about members of the Pea family – and the I realized I had enough photos of Wisteria to group them into a post. So here are some photos of the amazing Wisteria I photographed in Spring 2019 at Longwood Gardens and at Chanticleer Gardens

Wisteria – New Photo

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Wisteria – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/wisteria/

One of the wonderful flowers that blooms every spring is Wisteria. Caught at just the perfect moment, it resembles a curtain of purple blossoms tumbling down from above. I photographed this bench surrounded by wisteria on a wonderful spring day. This was one of those scenes where I’d tried photographing it for years and until this time had never managed to catch it on just the right day.

Continuing sharing photos of flowers I’ve worked with in my studio. Today, a dose of spring with some lovely pink, purple and white Sweet peas.

Pink & Purple Sweet Peas – In the Studio

So I’m still working on editing photos I’ve taken in the studio in the past couple of years. I found a bunch of photos of Sweet Peas that I had taken sometime last year. Some were taken as individual images, others as sets of images for stacking in Helicon Focus. With focus-stacking I’m able to create a sense of a greater depth of field in my photos. Today I’ll be sharing the focus stacked images I took of the sweet peas.

Mimosas!

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jul 10, 2017 | Fabaceae Family, Flowers

While I was in Tennessee last month I spent some time photographing a mimosa tree. Also known as silk trees, Albizia julibrissin are native to southwestern Asia. They are invasive in many parts of the United States, and since they are very fertile trees, they are spreading throughout most of the country. They are known for their silk-like flowers in shades of red, pink and white.

As beautiful as they are, I’d rather see more native trees and shrubs blooming along the roadside than more mimosa trees.
