White Trillium © 2013 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – White trillium – trillium grandiflorum – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
The White Trillium (trillium grandiflorum) are one of the earliest trilliums to bloom in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee each spring. Which means most years – they’ve finished blooming by the time I get there in mid-April. This year, I finally got to photograph some amazing white trillium. I photographed this beautiful trillium in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest in the mountains of North Carolina.
This photograph is available as a 10 X 10″ or 20 X 20″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order White trillium – trillium grandiflorum from my website.

El Nino Tulips © 2013 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – El Nino Tulips – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
When I saw this group of El Nino Tulips – I knew I had to photograph them – and that when I printed the photo that it would be a panoramic photo. I couldn’t believe all the shades of red, pink, orange and yellow in these incredible tulips – and knew that I had to share them with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
This photograph is available as an 8 X 18″ or 14 X 30″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order El Nino Tulips from my website.

Pink & Purple Columbine © 2013 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Pink & Purple Columbine – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Each year in early May, Columbine blooms at the local botanical gardens in a rainbow of colors. I spotted this set of columbine in shades of pinks and purples after a morning rain – and knew I had to photograph it. I really liked seeing the water droplet on the end of the columbine bud.
This photograph is available as a 12 X 18″ or 20 X 30″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Pink & Purple Columbine from my website.

Bleeding Hearts © 2013 Patty Hankins
Bleeding Hearts are one of the flowers that always make me smile when I see them. Here in the DC area, they bloom in April – adding a wonderful splash of bright splash of color to the local gardens. What I didn’t realize when I started photographing the bleeding hearts was how many people love them as much as I do.
When I’m at shows and people are looking at my photos – they see the bleeding heart photos and start to smile. So often, I hear how their mothers and grandmothers had bleeding hearts in the gardens when they growing up. And what fun it was to see the heart shaped flowers in the early spring.
What’s also wonderful is how many people mention that they have bleeding hearts growing in their garden – because it reminds them of their family connections – and because they want their children to have the same wonderful memories about family flowers and gardens that they have.
I’ve heard stories of my great-grandmother’s and grandmother’s gardens. To this day, when I see irises blooming in the spring – I remember the ones that grew in my mother’s garden. So I understand what kind of memories seeing the bleeding hearts bring back to people – and I love it when people buy my bleeding heart photos to help preserve their childhood memories.

Bleeding Hearts © 2013 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Bleeding Hearts – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra spectabilis) are one of my favorite spring flowers. I love seeing the heart-shaped splashes of pink and white against the greens of the garden.
The heart shaped varieties seen in gardens originated in Japan. They were introduced in England in the 1840s, and then imported to the United States. There is also a type of bleeding hearts (Dicentra exima) native to the United States. I’ve photographed the wild bleeding hearts in the mountains of Tennessee.
This photograph is available as a 10 X 10″ or 20 X 20″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Bleeding Hearts from my website.
