Light and shadow

A black and white photo of a tree shows the intricate old growth. 

Spring snow

These flowers look like snow on the rocks. 

Desert rose

I'm not a big fan of cactus - but this little beauty could make me change my mind.

Secrets in the garden

The landscape of a leaf.

The Early Bird

What they don't tell you about the Early Bird is that the worm is often late. 

Tangerine sherbet

The color of these reminds me of sherbet.

True Violet

Intense color - they look like if they were red they would be poppies. 

Dark Polka

I love polka-dot plants. They're easy to grow and colorful. These, with a little help, have become something spectacular - from Deep Cut Gardens.

Patterns in nature

Another Deep Cut Gardens photo - this leaf reminds me of a

 turtle shell. 

Orchids and aliens

This friendly fellow was on display at Deep Cut Gardens.

With a nose like this, I suppose he can enjoy the scent of all his fellow flowers. 

My succulent obsession

The title sounds a bit kinky, but really, it's just about my love of desert plants. 

This beauty is on display at Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown, NJ where I spent a fabulous May afternoon taking dozens of pictures that will be filling up this blog for the next few months.
