What a headline! Just hang on because we're talking purple and lavender hues. A feast for your eyes!
This is a double flowering Tulip called Tulip Blue Wow. Where it got this name, I haven't a clue. But the Wow part of the name definitely says it all for me.
Say 'hello' to a gorgeous deep Burgundy Lace Tulip. I don't know which I love more, the deep burgundy hue or the lace tips that look slightly cut into the flower.
Purple Hyacinths and yellow Tulips, what more can one ask for. A stunning garden display that sits behind the Botanical Hall in the Robert Ellis Color Garden.
Capturing the full sun lit lavender Tulips was a challenge. So I bent down and snap a few pics of the Tulips with the sun shining in front and my pics snapped from behind. This is the result. You be the judge.
The Purple Hyacinth and orange Violets were a big hit on my Facebook page. You just never know what will inspire people. Matters not, because all I want is to inspire whether it's a purple Hyacinth or a waterfall. Inspiration is all I'm looking for.
Searching far and wide, I never found the name of this Tulip and failed to check the garden marker. Many of the flower petals stood wide open offering up a bird's eye view of the inside and the stamen. So gorgeous.
Cheekwood Botanical Gardens is situated just south of Nashville proper and today is the last day of Cheekwood's Bloom Fest featuring many, many, many species of Tulips, as well as Hyacinths, Jonquils, Violets and more.
I had hoped to find some cloud cover when I arrived yesterday based on the meterologist's forecast, but instead found full sun. It can be quite difficult to capture the best images in full light when shooting flower photography. Don't let that stop you. Inspiration lies in every single petal you capture.
I hoped you enjoyed this journey through the purple and lavender hues of Bloom Fest this year. I'll come back soon with gorgeous red and yellow Tulips. You won't want to miss that. ENJOY!

Every one is a beauty, and all together they are stunning. Is the a place close to you, or did you have to travel for this shoot?

DeleteThank you for stopping by Sandy. I always love hearing from you. I live in Hendersonville, TN, it's a bedroom community northeast of Nashville proper and is surrounded by Old Hickory Lake. Cheekwood is in south Nashville. It takes about 35-45 minutes to drive down to south Nashville. I go there often to shop in Green Hills and Brentwood. Radnor Lake is also near Cheekwood. I love photographing Old Hickory Lake, but I make special journeys down to the Cheekwood and Radnor when I can. Carol
The nearest show like this for us would be the Botanical Gardens in Wellington .And, not sure if it still happens, when the bulbs are finished flowering, it is free for all to come and dig for themselves.Those colours, truly stunning.
ReplyDeleteI would have to visit even if it were a special event. To think they would let you take them is amazing. Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful week. Carol
