January 8, 2006 : Garrya ×issaquahensis 'Pat Ballard'
Keywords: Garryaceae | Garrya ×issaquahensis 'Pat Ballard' | 33240-0561-1996
Today's images are a follow-up to the December 22, 2005 entry for Garrya ×issaquahensis 'Pat Ballard'. I thought I should have a photograph of the flowers in full bloom as an accompaniment. The previous entry has some links about the plant from both botanical and horticultural perspectives, so I won't add more for this entry.
Photography / art resource link: If you're curious about the second image, I've used what Darwin Wiggett has called “Orton Imagery”. For a step by step guide on how to accomplish this with both film and digital images, Darwin has written “Orton Imagery – A How To Guide for Photographers via Nature Photographers Online. You can also check the Orton in Orton Imagery here: Michael Orton Photography.

Interesting images!
What is the name of flowers?

tetsu - this would be commonly known as 'Pat Ballard' tassel bush (or silk tassel).

The flowers on this Garrya are really pretty, but are the leaves normally spotted like this or do they have a disease?
