This flower was photographed some years ago in the botanical building in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA. There were lots of tropical plants there, and I was very taken by this one, which is some type of pitcher plant. 7/10/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
This close up view of the pink amaryllis was taken at a flower show with entries for competition. I don't recall if this one won any awards, but I loved the color and textures of the petals. 7/9/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
These pretty Cosmos were photographed at Los Angeles Arboretum some time ago. I was happy they had grown tall enough that I was able to use the sky as a background. 7/8/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
