  • Day Lilies come in every imaginable color. I particularly like this cultivar, which combines bright yellow and orange.

  • These beautiful yellow flowers are present in mid- to late-summer throughout the Great Lakes Region. I enjoy large photographs of these on the walls during the winter months. They really seem to perk things up nicely once you've had your fill of northern Wisconsin snow drifts.

  • Hollyhocks produce simple, yet beautiful floral clusters on tall stalks starting in late June in Northeast Wisconsin.

  • Peonies are some of the most beautiful of the world's ornamental flowers. I have pleasant memories of Peonies blooming in the spring that go back to my childhood, as my mother and grandmother had many of them planted around their southern Michigan homes. In those memories, ants seem to be omnipresent, so I chose to include this image of a Northern Wisconsin Peony on the site, complete with ant. If you're interested, Peonies have a role in Greek mythology (I'll leave it to you to track that down at your convenience).

  • In this image, each individual "shoot" appears to be "popping" out a flower. There are many stems that have yet to bloom. As you may have guessed, these blooms actually open rather slowly.
    IMG_5823cs2HR.jpg
  • With only sunlight illumination from overhead, this is another example of the beauty of the blooms and foliage of the Peony.
    IMG_5826cs2HR.jpg
  • Another of the many varieties of peony.
    IMG_5831cs2HR.jpg
  • Another of 2009's beautiful crop of Peonies.
    IMG_5844cs2HR.jpg
  • Many varieties of Tree Roses bloom in May and June. I like to capture images of these with the incident light provided by the sun, instead of making any attempt to add further illumination. I prefer the shadows that are created within the bloom through this approach.

  • Peony blooms are very complex, and they take on a different appearance depending on the angle at which the sun strikes them. In this shot, the sun is nearly directly overhead, and some of the petals have taken on an almost purple, fluorescent quality.

  • Hybrid petunia blossoms.
