Missouri Botanical Garden (Take Two)

I was able to go to Missouri Botanical Garden for the second time this spring season, and it was even more beautiful the second time around. I loved seeing so many flowers, especially tulips, of all different colors in full bloom. The picture to the left features some of the hidden details of a tulip. I love how the entire focus is on the flower, and everything else is kind of blurred out.

I was drawn to this particular flower because of its bright, vibrant colors. It reminded me of some sort of tropical flower, which then reminded me of a beach, which then reminded me of vacation, which of course reminded me of summer. So basically this picture means that we have less than two weeks of school left.

This picture doesn't feature as much detail as some of the others, but it is one of my favorites because it looks like a sea of pink. The flowers look like they could go on forever. I also love how the sunlight is reflecting off each of the flowers.

Pictured to the right is another group of flowers that really caught my eye. I think it's because the white petals contrast so well with the green stems and leaves. I did a little research and found out that this flower is called a narcissus, which I've never actually heard of before. It kind of reminds me of a white daisy or sunflower, which again reminds me of summer.

I think this is my favorite photo from our class trip to the Botanical Garden. There are so many different things going on in this picture. You can see blades of grass up close with some of the fallen petals from the trees, along with a group of yellow flowers in full bloom with the blue sky serving as a great backdrop. You can tell that it was a beautiful day just by looking at this photo.
