Everything here is dead. (I mean flower/pretty plant wise).
I mean, dead. It won’t re-appear or re-animate until maybe March…but that’s a stretch. To cope with this bout of lifelessness here in Montana, I periodically post sappy photographs of pretty naturalia (natural things). Today, it’s flowers. If you can’t handle the cheesiness of them, I suggest you go play Tetris or make some hot chocolate or do something – anything- else. This is going to be pretty, it’s going to be sappy, and it’s going to be repetitive.
Also, I sadly do not know the names of a lot of these flowers. If you want to get all horticultural on me and spread your knowledge, let me know so that I can properly identify the flora! Thanks!
The Photographist 
love these photos. the leaves finished falling off the branches and we basically have no greenery here. makes me feel nostalgic looking at plants in full bloom.
I love the first photo – are they blossoms? And I love the last – they are jacarandas I believe.
Thank you so much! The first picture is the underside of the same blossoms in the 3rd photograph. Thanks for identifying the hanging flowers, they’ve always been so beautiful but mysterious!
wow – the lighting makes them look so different in the 3rd photo. I may be wrong about the jacaranda reference as I just googled it. Though I know these purple flowers from Sydney. I need to ask my mum!!
I really like your exposure in these, it brings a certain ‘aliveness’ to them, almost hyper real, you know. Great stuff!
