Flower Photography

My wife and I are very proud of our flower gardens. We live on a huge lot and have many different flower varieties throughout.

For example, Roses, Dahlias, Gladiolas, Rhododendrons, Irises, Fox Gloves, Red Hot Poker Plants, Daisies and, on and on.

I have a ball photographing them and seeing my work come to fruition. The following flowers from our yard were photographed very early morning.

French Prairie Gardens

Out in the country, away from all the hustle and bustle is French Prairie Gardens. It is just one nice place, located in St.Paul, Oregon...about 45 minutes south of Portland.

Basically, it's a nursery, farm and store that features fresh produce. They have all kinds of activities for the family year around. A must place to visit if you live in the area.

However, at this time of the year, summer, one can't help but notice all the beautiful hanging baskets and flower gardens that are displayed.

They have the biggest hanging baskets I have ever seen and they are reasonably priced. Did I say the ice cream they feature is good? Enjoy the photos!

Neighborhood Flowers Two

A continuation of neighborhood flowers...just spending a Sunday morning wandering around Oregon City, Oregon photographing any plant, flower that's cool.

One of the most amazing photos I took is of a hydroponic flower garden display. It's located on a huge outside wall, part of a once hydroponic shop, that use to teach the craft but, apparently no longer does.

Neighborhood Flowers

It's fun to travel through various neighborhoods were I live in Oregon City, Oregon and photograph the flowers. There is a lot going on this time of the year flora-wise but, it won't be long before everything dies out.

The photos that are taken here vary from flower gardens to hanging baskets, to giant potted arrangements. The whole idea is for you to enjoy them!

Summer Flowers In Oregon City Part 4

The Gladiolas keep blooming this is a red one and orange one. So far we have had green, yellow and burgundy ones bloom and have featured them here.

The green gladiola had been the most unusual and was the first to bloom. It's still going.

Summer Flowers In Oregon City Part 3

Wow! I have had a really good response on my flower posts. We will be sad when they all lose their blooms.

One flower in particular that is coming into flirtation are the gladiolus. My wife planted an assorted bag of them and had no idea how they would come out. So far a green one and two others...a burgundy and a yellow.

Summer Flowers In Oregon City Part 2

The flowers just keep coming! Our yard in Oregon City, Oregon is getting filled up with beautiful flowers.

That's great because before you know it, Fall is here. And, all the flowers disappear, unless they are in a greenhouse.

So, let's all enjoy while we can!

Summer Flowers In Oregon City

As mentioned in previous posts, my wife and I have an enormous yard, located in Oregon City, Oregon. There are several things you can do with a large yard in the summer...you can ignore it, or plant it with interesting plants and flowers. We like the later idea.

One of the most intriguing flowers we have planted this year has been over a half dozen Green Gladiolus, which is in the first photo here. No adjustments have been made to this photo...it's the real color.
