  • The spring bloom is a strong increase in phytoplankton abundance that typically occurs in the early spring and lasts until late spring or early summer. Spring blooms typically last until late spring or early summer, at which time the bloom collapses due to nutrient depletion in the stratified water column and increased grazing pressure by zooplankton.<br />
<br />
This week the earliest of spring flowers are starting to dot the landscape with color and the tree buds give a promise of warmer days ahead. Daffodils are in full bloom, as well as crocus and dwarf iris. Color is just beginning to peek out from the hyacinths, showing hints of purple and pink. <br />
<br />
Spring flowers come along and cheer us up at a time when we most need it -- after we've somehow survived another long winter. Speaking for myself, it wouldn't be going too far to say that they help me convalesce as I recuperate from Old Man Winter's months-long blustery barrage.

  • In my continued effort to add some items with a bit more vibrancy and extend my color pallet choices I thought this was a decent shot. We still have some rose buds popping up in mid December Missouri weather, which is highly unusual. Caught this new bud bent just towards the horizon. There was just enough light pushing through to capture a decent backdrop hue.

  • Canna (or canna lily, although not a true lily) is a genus of nineteen species of flowering plants. The species have large, attractive foliage and horticulturists have turned it into a large-flowered and bright garden plant. In addition, it is one of the world's richest starch sources, and is an agricultural plant. Although a plant of the tropics, most cultivars have been developed in temperate climates and are easy to grow in most countries of the world as long as they can enjoy at least 6?8 hours average sunlight during the summer.<br />
<br />
The plants are large tropical and subtropical perennial herbs with a rhizomatous rootstock. The broad, flat, alternate leaves, that are such a feature of this plant, grow out of a stem in a long narrow roll and then unfurl. The leaves are typically solid green but some cultivars have glaucose, brownish, maroon, or even variegated leaves.

  • A long exposure macro shot of the sunlight hitting a Canna bud. Went with more of a dreamy focus for something with a bit more character to the composition that might allow it to be framed

  • Just a broken rose bud in our garden. Was still a lot of life and vibrant color left in it and thought the capture would be a nice contrast. Literally and non-literal ;)

  • Time for another splash of color. I thought this was an interesting new bloom and had just enough light on a cold winter day to get some decent tones in the capture

Daisies belong to one of the largest families of plants in the world, that of vascular plants, i.e. those which circulate goodness around their systems, making up almost 10% of all flowering plants on Earth.

  • I have no clue what kind of flower or plant this is.  I photographed this flower on the inside of the Butterfly House at the Saint Louis Zoo...I just thought it was beautiful and it touched me the moment I noticed it.  I was just hoping my photographing of this flower would do it justice...I hope you enjoy this beautiful flower as much as I do.  Happy Friday Everyone
