Amoena means "beatuiful" or "Pleasing" It is native to the Tienmu Mountains of China. It is amazing to see this beautiful pink and white flower before the bloom opens. It is covered by a fuzzy tan shell. It is one of my favorite spring flowers. I always make a point to find one in bloom in early March. I mangage to capture this beauty before the "Stay at Home" Coronarivus pandemic was issued. There are two beautfiul Magnolia Amoena trees at Maymont Park 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.
The double bloom Tahiti Daffodil will brighten up your garden with its soft yellow petals and bright orange center. The mix of gold and orange opens to almost a rose like bloom. I decided to photograph these Tahiti Daffodils on my led light panel to create a transulcent effect.
