| All flowers, all the time. I like flowers. I like botany - poking around in meadows with a magnifyer in one hand and a flora in the other. I like gardening - getting my hands dirty on my own plot of land. But most of all I like big, bold, beautiful flowers. So naturally I take photos of flowers. What follows are most of the flowers I've photographed during the last few years. They're ordered by flower colour. | |
