Foxglove Wall Art


These particular Foxgloves came right out of our garden. And, they were very inspiration in creating this art.

The original color of the Foxgloves were a vibrant pink. The photo post processing brought out an even more vibrant color.

Foxgloves are perennial flowers/plants. They seem to grow heartier and heartier each year after they are planted. There are some twenty species of Foxgloves to enjoy!

You can purchase this image in a variety of ways, wall art, life style, apparel, greeting cards, home decor, phone cases, beach. please see the link below this image and /or the slide shows below and, on the left side bar!

Oregon Flowers Two

The Gladiolus are starting to fade away into the sunset so I have to photograph them while I can. I've said this many times...they are the most vibrant flowers we have in our yard.

As they bloom, they make beautiful bouquets. However, in the garden they can get a little too tall and unruly.

A great and recommended book from Amazon: Flowers By Carolyne Roehm  (With a gardener’s understanding and a an elegant eye, the author shows us the flowers she has cultivated for decades in and around her historic Connecticut home. While alternating dramatic close-ups with portraits of lovely arrangements and sweeping views of her land, Roehm writes with wit, emotion, and affection of what flowers have meant to her, as well as of the joys and travails of the committed gardener’s life.)

Oregon Flowers

We have an assortment of English Roses in our yard. One of the most robust is an Abraham Darby English Rose.

One of the more unusual flowers we have is a Green Gladiolus. This is not a Photoshop trick...it is actually green in color.

We have a huge yard with lots of flowers. Lots of hanging baskets, grapes, blue berries, raspberries and of course two vegetable gardens.

Please enjoy!

Flower Garden Pictures Six

One of the most unusual flower in our yard are Gladiolus. Mainly, because of color.

The hangup is the height. They get rather tall and sometimes grow at an angle and are hard to stake up.

The Hydrangea shown here is multi-colored. Mainly, because of soil content.

The English Roses are very robust and grow like mad...they require a lot of care but are beautiful.

Dahlias are my favorite! They are really diverse and require little care.

Peony Season Three

In previous posts I have mentioned that Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise is one of my favorite place to photograph with all the beautiful peony and other flowers they have on display.

That hasn't changed. So, here are some more pics for you to enjoy!

Peonies are treasured by gardeners for their longevity, lush foliage, rich fragrance, and landscape uses.

2) Peonies (Firefly Gardener's Guide) ( The dazzling peony with its generous blooms is revered and treasured in North America as it has been for centuries in its country of origin, China. Peonies is a comprehensive guide to selecting and growing the best species and hybrids for every region and garden condition.)

3) The Gardener's Peony [Illustrated] ( The Chinese have been growing tree peonies for 1600 years but these exotic plants still make a novel addition to the Western garden.

Peony Season Two

This is the latest post about the Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise in Brooks, Oregon. It is one of my favorite places to go to photograph because of the beautiful setting and, all the varieties of peony they grow.

And, yes! They didn't win "Best of Show" seven of the last ten years at the American Peony Convention by having dumpy-looking peonies. They have their "ducks lined up"!

Peony Season

If there is a better place to check out peonies I don't know where it's at. I'm talking about the Adelman Gardens Peony Paradise in Brooks, Oregon...not too far north of Salem!

Their name is kind of a mouthful but, they have the most beautiful peony gardens you will ever run across. It's not a gigantic conglomerate but, let's just say, "quality before quantity".

To give you a few examples of just how cool their peonies are: Their tree peony "Hephestos" was "Best of Show" at the 2012 American Peony Society.  OK! They have been awarded "Best of Show" seven of the last 10 years.  Not to mention all the other categories they have won awards for.
