A tulip...
Has anyone else noticed it is hard to get red flowers to look true to life in photos?
We have a wonderful "wall" of lilacs on the edge of our property, with 3 different kinds of lilacs.
There are the larger, more feathery blooms like these,
And then the softer, clouds of blossoms like these!
I never can decide which I like better.
We also have several varieties of crabapples. I always love this one when it's not quite in full bloom, when there is the mix of white flowers with pink-tinted buds.
This is the reddish crabapple, not blooming yet
And the pink crabapple!
This is the redbud tree... I loved how the colors and bokeh came out in this one. Unfortunately I was very busy around the time this bloomed so I didn't get too many pictures. Perhaps that's just as well since I recall I got rather a lot last year. :-)

I absolutely think the last picture on this post it the BEST one out of all your pictures of flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love Crab Apple trees!

Ohh...I simply ADORE the pictures of the crabapples! It's beautiful! The lilacs are pretty too! You did a great job capturing them!
ReplyDeleteHannah - Thanks! I just loved that one with the bright flowers popping off the dark background! It has sort of an asian feel I think (which is maybe why you like it :-).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Victoria!
A WALL of lilacs???? How delightful!!

What beautiful lilacs! My mother LOVES them :) She was recently able to get some cuttings from a old farmhouse that was being sold, and she planted them around our house. A few survived, and we are thankful for them, but it is nothing like yours!
