Category Archives: Garden Photography This recent photograph from Michael’s garden shows the beautiful heart-shaped garden perennial formerly known as Dicentra spectabilis…now re-named Lamprocapnos spectabilis. At Art In The Garden we may love flower photography but we’re not so in love with the new official name for Dicentra – we prefer the much more descriptive popular name ’Bleeding heart’. Michael’s second photograph of the same…  There is something uniquely timeless about monochrome or black and white photography. Even though we’re surrounded by colour – especially in a garden – there is nothing quite like black and white for capturing mood or highlighting graphic lines and shapes. The sweeping curves of this levada in the Monte Palace Gardens, Madeira, immediately caught…  Like a complex musical score, the pale yellow flowers of the spring-flowering Stachyrus chinenesis cascade downwards in flowing ‘racemes’ along its laden branches… Michael photographed this eye-catching and unusual Chinese shrub at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, choosing a wide aperture to separate the lantern-shaped flowers from the busy background. |
