Whether it's embodied in dangerous spikes, brilliant colors, smooth surfaces or delicate petals, the flora around us never ceases to inspire me. Here are a few favorite specimens, as of late. Some I shot at a wholesale nursery, others while hiking, one in our very own yard and a few in a friend's wild and crazy garden. Enjoy their beauty.
