Green Chrysanthemum © 2014 Patty Hankins

I’ve recently added a new photo – Green Chrysanthemum  – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.

I love photographing chrysanthemums – with 13 classes of chrysanthemums – I’m always finding something new and wonderful to photograph. I found some wonderful green spider chrysanthemums at a local store – and when I saw them – I knew I had to photograph them in my studio. Not only were they a vibrant shade of green, but with all the curling and curving petals I knew they would make a great subject. In this photo, I tried to show both the tights curls and curves in the center of the flower – as well as the long lines of the petals once they open out.

Green Chrysanthemum is available as a matted print on my website.
