Spring Flowers

A small collection of some of my favorite film photos featuring spring flowers from 2021.

View from my porch, mid April just 24 hours apart. 

Resurrection Lilies

One of my favorite flowers to photograph every year. I love spotting them all over town and waiting for the blooms to open up. These were just right across the alley in our neighbors yard last summer. 

Today it's warm out! Chris was working in the backyard and I made lemonade. It is amazing how much lighter everything feels as spring starts to show it's face. 

 

Schlumbergera, Holiday Cactus Blooms

I've been growing Holiday Cactus for several years in my home. I always get a few blooms, but this year they really took off!

I had moved them outside for the summer and then left them out into the late fall. I think the cold nights are what got them going. The bright colors and flowers feel like a real treat in what's been a rough year. 

Both of these are commonly referred to as Thanksgiving Cactus specifically. The one on the left I got at Rural King last year (or maybe two years ago...), and the one on the right I picked up at May's Greenhouse several years ago.
