Color series: Pink, Part I

5/22/2011

I'm grabbing the theme of this post series from a fellow gardener's blog: stonethegardener

I have hundreds of plant photos I've taken over the years, and am often overwhelmed with how to best share or sort them. Rainbow color sorting is soothing to the artist in me, so here you go!

Soft pink delicate shrub roses. Knock Out Radcon variety.

Hot pink buds of Magnolia Jane.

True pink with a yellow fringe- unknown peony.

Magenta pink of Stokes Aster (I would guess Purple Parasols).

Two-toned pink of variegated phlox Nora Leigh.

Delicate blush of Resurrection Lily in the fall at Fernwood Gardens.

Shell pink of a Lake Michigan sunset...love it!

I hope you've enjoyed this sampling of shades of pink. I'll follow up soon with... oh, I don't know...how about blue?!
