Sometime in mid to late March Longwood Gardens puts out a display of the rare Blue Himalayan Poppy! It’s one of my many favorite flowers. Why? Well, for one, it ‘s blue! I just love finding blue in nature! It’s unusual and most days if you ask me what my favorite color is, I’ll tell you blue! These flowers come to Longwood via Alaska as much smaller plants that Longwood then has to carefully care for in order for them to bloom. The blooms only last a few days. it seems that us photographers (and every other visitor) like to touch them and take pictures of them. The touching and flash photography shorten the life span. If you’re lucky you can visit every day for 10 to maybe 14 days to see them and then they’re gone! Here’s hoping they’re still there next weekend so I can go back and visit! When I go I’ll be taking my Lensbaby Velvet 56 again and I’ll be using my Omni Creative Filter system! Use the contact form if you have questions or just want to chat about Lensbaby!
