Rewind

A look back at a month of growing flowers.

Each month I share favorite flower pictures I’ve captured during the previous weeks. Light on words, Rewind is the perfect place to enjoy still photography, an increasingly rare medium on social media.

Tradescantia “Purple Heart” (but I call it mermaid tails in my head because look at that color and shape!).

The flowers that survived our late June heat wave.

Pink hydrangea as fluffy as cotton candy.

Snapdragons + zinnia + bunny tails

Cosmo, “Tetris Red”

Calla lilies cannot survive our winter weather. I’ve dug this one up each fall and replanted it in the spring for fourteen years.

I pulled this one from the archive: cosmos, zinnias, and dahlias from a late fall harvest.

Look for a full newsletter with new writing and images later this month.
