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.
Orange poppies is a perennial poppy originally from Morocco. This variety grows up to 2 feet tall, and has larger blooms that span 2 to 4 inches across. I saw this deep orange poppy growing in the garden at Tuckahoe Plantation in Goochland, Virginia.
