A few members of the amaryllis family

by hankinslawrenceimages | May 29, 2019 | Amaryllidaceae Family

It seems like every spring, I spend a few days photographing daffodils and other members of the amaryllis family. This year I photographed wonderful daffodils at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia and at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland. I also photographed some Summer Snowflakes at Brookside Gardens.

A Wonderful Spring Morning at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens

by hankinslawrenceimages | Mar 27, 2019 | Amaryllidaceae Family, Asparagaceae Family, Iridaceae Family

A couple weeks ago, I spent a few hours photographing at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia. One of things I love about Lewis Ginter is their daffodils – in the spring they have so many beautiful daffodils throughout the gardens. The other great thing about Lewis Ginter is that it is about 100 miles south of Washington DC so spring arrives a couple of weeks earlier there than it does here.

It seems like every year, just as I’m about to go crazy from what feels like a never-ending winter – I start seeing photos of spring flowers taken at Lewis Ginter. And I decide I need to make a quick trip to Richmond.

This year I photographed daffodils, grape hyacinths and dwarf irises on my early spring visit.

I’m sure I’ll be back photographing at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden again soon. But I wanted to share this wonderful taste of spring with you in case you are in as much need of spring as I am

A Visit to Gibbs Gardens

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jul 19, 2018 | Amaryllidaceae Family, Georgia, Liliaceae Family, Violaceae Family

While I was in Georgia earlier this year, I spent a wonderful day exploring Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, Georgia. As botanical gardens go, Gibbs Gardens is a fairly new garden. Established by Jim Gibbs, an Atlanta Landscape Developer, the garden was developed starting the 1980s. It currently covers over 200 acres and includes three feature gardens – the Manor House Gardens, the Japanese Gardens and the Waterlily Gardens. Gibbs Gardens is known for the hillsides of daffodils that bloom each spring. The day I visited was just as the daffodils were finishing their bloom – I would love to get back some year and catch them in full bloom.

Here are some of my photos from my visit to Gibbs Gardens.

Spring at Longwood Gardens II

I spent a wonderful day photographing at Longwood Gardens earlier this month. I’d gone up to Kennett Square in search of tulips. I was a little late for peak tulip bloom but I did find lots of flowers to photograph – including a few tulips. I shared a few of my photos earlier this week – here are the rest of my photos from a wonderful day at Longwood Gardens

Earlier this year I photographed some wonderful bright yellow Dutch Master Daffodils in my studio. I thought I’d share some of my photos of these wonderful yellow flowers with you today.
