Morning Eye Candy: Green on Green

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on January 14 2013, by Matt Newman

Green on green is nothing special in the plant world, at least up until you find a flower of such description. At that moment, things sway into the realm of magical. It all begins March 3rd–mark your calendars!

green flowers take botanical beauty to another level…once I did a wedding with green orchids like this one tied to the ends of bare branches with a bit of spanish moss dripping down…..the bridesmaids carried them as bouquets.

It was very nerve wracking ordering the flowers from the supplier and it was touch and go until the last minute…
