A Few More Asters

Asters are some of my favorite flowers – they come in so many wonderful colors and shapes. Here are a few photos of various asters that I’ve edited up but haven’t shared with you yet.

I love seeing chrysanthemums at the local gardens in the fall. They bring such wonderful splashes of color and texture to what is often becoming a brown landscape. These Vienna Waltz Chrysanthemums, with their purple and white petals and the bright yellow petal tips made me smile when I saw them. I knew I had to photograph them and share their beauty with the world.

This photograph is available matted to 11 X 14 for $ 54 or 16 X 20 for $ 109.

I’ve recently added a new photo – Kournan Kouryou Chrysanthemum – to my website at  https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/kournankouryouchrysanthemum/

When I saw these incredible chyrsanthemums at a local garden, I knew I had to photograph them. At first, I photographed a single mum. And then a close up of the center. And then a pair of them. As I continued to explore the garden, all of a sudden I found a large group of these spectacular mums planted very close together, so their blossoms pushed up against each other. So rather than seeing a separate flower, I saw continuous waves of motion as my moved from petal to petal, and flower to flower.

Chyrsanthemums at Longwood Gardens

Chyrsanthemums at Longwood Gardens

One of the highlights of fall for flower lovers in the Washington DC area is the Chrysanthemum Show at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Every November, the Longwood Conservatory is filled with spectacular chrysanthemums. They usually have some large displays such as the 1000 bloom Chrysanthemum and the Chrysanthemum shields. These are always wonderful to see, but my favorite part of the show is taking close up photos of the mums.

I thought I’d share some of my photos from the 2018 Chrysanthemum show with you today.

I think Evening Glow and Vienna Waltz Chrysanthemums were my favorites this year. It’s always fun to see what new varieties Longwood Gardens puts on display during the annual Chrysanthemum show. I can’t wait to see next year’s show.

Do you have a favorite variety of chrysanthemum? If you do – can you let me know in the comments below so I can keep an eye out for them when I’m out photographing chrysanthemum.

 

Chyrsanthemums 2017 – Part 3

I recently visited Longwood Gardens and had a chance to photograph some of the flowers in their annual Chrysanthemum Festival. As always, I was amazed at the variety and beauty of all the wonderful mums on display. I thought I’d share some of my photos from the show with you today.
