My Garden Photography Workshop at River Farm
9 09 2020Yours truly is leading a garden photography workshop on Saturday, October 17, at River Farm, home to the American Horticulture Society!
What I’ll be teaching can apply to everything from a DSLR to a point-n-shoot to your smartphone.
The workshop is 1:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m., with a lecture and hands-on guidance photographing in the gardens at River Farm. (I just attended a botanical illustration workshop a few weeks ago, so I know the social distancing/mask wearing is in effect there.) The event will be held exclusively outdoors under their big event tent. Their address is 7931 E Boulevard Dr, Alexandria, VA 22308.
If you’re local and want to attend, learn more in the link below!

Sprouts
4 09 2020© Cindy Dyer. All rights reserved.

As soon as I saw this jumble of sprouted bulbs (still in the bag on the potting bench), I immediately thought of these lyrics by my beloved John Denver:
I want to live I want to grow
I want to see I want to know
I want to share what I can give
I want to be I want to live
I *think* these are iris bulbs. Or very tiny gladiola bulbs. The label was now rendered illegible due to the rain. I ordered them online, and while I planted everything else, I left these on the bench, intending to find a place for them later. Then the rains came. And came. And came. When there wasn’t rain, I watered the garden daily, never seeing these still on the bench. Just now, I glanced over and saw some tall green stalks on the bench. Whaaaaaa? The little bulbs had sprouted; every single one of them! They were poking through the holes in the bag, roots entangling. The roots even went through the bag and had attached themselves to my gardening gloves.
I sat at the patio table and cut them free from the bag and found a home for them in the garden.

Crocosmia
14 07 2020Crocosmias are part of the Iris family. Originally from South Africa, the name comes from the Greek words for “saffron” and “smell.”

Daylilies
13 07 2020For this shot, I diffused the light shining directly on the daylilies, but allowed the bright dappled sunlight to filter through in the background.

Stargazer lilies
20 06 2020My huge cluster of stargazer lilies put on quite a show a few weeks ago! 18 blooms across four plants, and so fragrant that I could smell them from the front porch!
