A Few Asters

by hankinslawrenceimages | Sep 18, 2019 | Asteraceae Family

The Aster family consists of literally thousands of different flowers (the last number I saw was over 39,000!). Most have dense centers with petals coming out from the center. Among the types of asters I see on a regular basis are daisies, black eyed Susans, sunflowers, zinnias, dahlias, etc. I thought I’d share a few aster photos I’ve edited recently with you today.

So Many Different Zinnias!

by hankinslawrenceimages | Sep 4, 2019 | Asteraceae Family

I recently spent some time photographing at a local flower farm where they are growing more kinds of zinnias than I’ve ever seen! I ended up taking a series of photos of the different types of blossoms. I thought I’d share them with you today.

Aren’t they all amazing! I can’t wait to find more zinnias to photograph

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.

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.

I’ve recently added a new photo – Woodland Wildthings Dahlia – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/dahlia-woodland-wildthings/

This Woodland Wildthings Dahlia is one of most eye-catching dahlias I’ve ever seen. The combination of red, orange and yellow made it stand out in a room full of dahlias. And as I explored photographing this incredible flower, I noticed one of the petals had a twist in it – that just gave the whole flower even more personality that a similar dahlia nearby.

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Sunflowers – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/sunflowers-1/

When I saw these wonderful sunflowers at a local farm stand, I knew I wanted to photograph them in close, showing the wonderful patterns in the center of the flowers and highlighting the bright sunny yellow in the petals.
