    Neon pink gladiolus

  • Butterfly pea.

    Butterfly pea in Siem Reap.

  • Hong Kong Orchid

    A Hong Kong orchid that I came across at the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Something about this makes me think of Betty Davis.

  • Desert Rose.

    Desert rose with a hole in her heart.

  • Crispy wave fern

    Crispy wave fern (I think!), at the inimitable Cul de Sac in Siem Reap.

  • Sunflower

    Sunflower -- if you look very closely, you'll see a tiny, weird-looking spider at the top of it.

  • Queens wreath

    Queen's wreath I came across in Penang, Malaysia. It was GLORIOUS.

  • Desert Rose 2

    Another desert rose. I love everything about this flower, including its attitude.

  • White flower

    I'll get back to you in this one...

  • Zinnia yellow

    I came across a field of zinnias at the Angkor Botanical Gardens in Siem Reap, with the sun going down behind them, and nearly lost my mind they were so beautiful.

  • Zinnia orange

    One of the field of zinnias at Angkor Botanical Gardens.

  • Heliconia.

    Heliconia, the drama-drama queen of the flower world.

  • Banana flower

    Banana flower.

  • Dying rose

    A dying rose. I have a slight obsession with dying flowers and the way they reflect light back at the world instead of absorbing it all.

  • Anemone

    An anenome near Monein in The Béarn. The hedgerows here are always bursting with flowers -- a rather distinct, and depressing, difference between here and my home in Ireland.

  • Pastel

    Play time.

  • Golden dewdrop

    Golden dewdrop.

  • Zinnia yellow

    I'm not actually the biggest fan of zinnias, but this one was so perfect it took my breath away.

  • Grasses

    Rushing through the grass.

  • Dandelion

    Dandelion.

  • Wild garlic

    Wild garlic by the Blackwater in Ireland.

  • Star Magnoila

    Star Magnolia in my grandmother's garden.

  • Butternut squash flower on a black background

    Butternut squash flower, that I subsequently, accidentally murdered.

  • Red hibiscus under a cracked ice texture

    I always thought there's something rather operatic about hibiscus.
