Globe Amaranth plants are annuals but will reseed itself for years. They grown 6 to 12 inches hight with thick green stems. The flower heads are clusters of florets tht resemble large clover flowers. They range in colors of pink, white and lavender. They are also call "explosion of colors". This border of pink explosion caught my eye on a late summer afternoon at Lewis Ginter Botantical Garden in Richmond, Virginia
This orange tulip basked in the warmth of the evening sun. Orange tulips are a symbol of energy and warmth. I found this tulip among the gardens at the University of Richmond in the spring. I used my Lensbaby lens to photograph this flower to give a a soft dreamy glow.
There are more than 40 variety of perennial tulips. Tulips bloom in early spring and are sure to bring color to your garden. An alternative for me was to purchase a few tulips during the winter and photograph this single Pink Diamond Tulip on a light background.
