Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: Centranthus ruber

These are some flowers I photographed when Steve and I went on a garden tour down in Ashland a few years ago. I wanted to have sharp focus on only the flowers in front, while allowing everything else to fade off into bokeh. You can see an entire flower cluster in another image that I've added in a note above. :)

A couple of years ago, Steve and I went on a garden tour down in Ashland, Oregon. What a day...so many gardens, so many flowers and lovely plants! By day's end my brain was mush, but what FUN! This was a picture I captured at one of the last gardens we visited...thanks to Fizgig and also my friend Karen Forsythe for the ID, these are called Jupiter's Beard or Red Valerian, aka Centranthus ruber. You guys are awesome!! :)
