Spring Plum Blossoms

“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”  -- Rainer Maria Rilke

Hydrangea Flower Petals

such delicate fine lace like little flowers when they have dried

Pink Protea Flowers

Protea 'Pink Ice' , such trippy prehistoric looking flowers. 

The petals are like plush velvet, really amazing.

Scabiosa caucasica, one of my very favorites, I love how not perfect they are like they have windblown hair or something  ;)

 

Eucalyptus Seed Pods - nature photography

Some of the plants in California are just so amazing! Even though they aren't native (most eucalyptus are from Australia).  Eucalyptus has become one of my favorites, the trees, the flowers and the pods.  More pics of the flowers coming soon.
