Exotic Flavor
It’s easy to get lost in a crowd, but the truly unique are easy to spot. I found this lovely example in the tulips of the annual Tulip Festival in Pella, IA.

Sun Worshipers
A patch of wild daises await the sunrise on a rural Wisconsin morning. This was the scene I captured a few days ago where our lawn meets the farm field that surrounds our property.

Hanging Hearts
It’s not difficult to understand the thinking behind the common name of this garden favorite – bleeding heart. Its heart-shape pink or white blooms with a protruding tip make it a logical choice.
Bleeding hearts are a species of flowering plant in the poppy family. These bleeding hearts are from ,my wife’s flowerbed near our house.

Happy Faces
You can’t help but smile when you see the bright, happy faces of the delicate, blooming violas.
These are some of our favorites in the garden. They seem to be very prolific, popping up in the lawn and other flowerbeds where they weren’t planted.

Segregated Spring
The tulips were brilliant at the Scholte House gardens. We visited there during the 2015 Tulip Festival in Pella, IA.

Star Power
The camera (or, more accurately, the photographer) did not fully capture the beauty of this flower. It seemed much more appealing to my eye than it does here, in digital form.
This is a new addition to one of my wife’s flower beds. Unfortunately, it got bit by the recent, late frost. It looks like it may recover so, hopefully, we’ll be seeing future blooms from this one.

Wild Kiss of Spring
One of the great joys I have is roaming through the woods in early spring, searching for the season’s first blooms. A few days ago, Sara and I took a hike in search of mushrooms and, of course, I had my camera. There was little in bloom, but these little beauties were a delightful find.

Ladies In White
The muted sunlight coming from behind these white tulips gave the flowers a unique quality. These early spring beauties were photographed at Pella, Iowa. Each year Pella has a tulip festival.
