Seen from behind, the flowers were luminous and translucent.

Tiny, slow beetle

Scales the rose to my delight

Are you a firefly?

Sundial portulaca

Hard, static glass splash

Chihuly can give movement

To that which is still

Old Man's Bones stonecrop

Xeriscape beauty in spring

Rain explodes flowers

Chihuly reeds in the Denver Botanic Gardens Main Conservatory

Mexican milkweed, asclepius incarnata
