Viewing the garden in post-storm sunset light

July 6, 2011   •   

A recent thunderstorm that rolled through our area left in its wake a yellow light that washed over the landscape. The resulting photos produced some odd looking results, none of which have been manipulated in any way.

Heuchera bathed in yellow light completely changes the appearance of the plant. This variety, ‘Hollywood,’ is actually reddish in color with silver accents.

    These are beautiful. I particularly like the lavender, with almost a hot pink look to it. It would be neat to grow different variety of Lavender that have different colored flowers.
