Flowers in the Spring Light

Helianthemum St. Mary
Clear sunlight penetrating the delicate tissue of all kinds of petals illuminates the garden.

The humblest of flowers shine brilliantly in spring sunshine. Drawn from our winter habitats, we peer into these miracles of color and light with our eyes and camera lenses.

The ever-changing patterns of color and light are an eternal source of fascination in every garden.

  5. The pink honeysuckle is one of my favorite plants! Here it practically blooms all year and wasn't even affected by the below 0 temps this year! Love it.

    I enjoyed seeing the photos of the clematis. I really want to plant clematis but I am a little intimidated by it.

    Thanks for visiting me at Cowgirl Culture!

    Love your blog. I adore the lower deserts were I lived most of my life,in Phoenix, AZ and Sedona, AZ. I grew up riding the Sonoran desert on a quarter horse; happy times they were!
    Thanks for your comment.
