Hi, Corky, and thank you. I'll gladly share my flowers! I have wondered what the stores did in colder climates. I guess there wouldn't be much of a market for things to plant outside right now. Our store has an enclosed area with house and patio plants. That's where I found the orchids.

Good point, Walt. At least snow can make very pretty shots so all is not lost. I do know that our weather is friendlier in winter but it can be gloomy, too. I would have guessed they would still have indoor plants but maybe not. Maybe you will just have to wait for spring for flowers.🙂

What about the section with the indoor plants? Indoors?

your local Lowes, Home Depot or other garden center. Most are very tolerant of photographers. You really can't use a tripod and you have to take the setting as is but working your subject will usually minimize distractions. Here are a few shots from a bad weather visit to Lowes.

Nice work Carol.

Outstanding Carol. You get better lighting in the store as you do in the bright outside sun.

When I visit Home Depot I always roam around the garden section. You are right, there are many beautiful flowers there. I have never asked for permission to photograph because I know I could be interfering with the customers that are there to buy.
Here in Miami we have a place called Fairchild Gardens where flowers from practically all over the world are found and the guides are always willing to offer all kind of explanations about the flowers.

Good advice. I use the florist shop in one of the local grocery stores. I just asked the manager, and she said it was fine.The flowers were nicer condition than Lowe's and HE. I worked with the orchids, mainly.

Judging from these excellent shots, you certainly hit upon a great idea.

Excellent idea! I'm a sucker for Orchids, particularly the Ladies Slippers variety! So, #2 really appeals to me. It's so sharp it appears to jump out of the frame! I saw a similar one at a Lowe's in Rockledge/Cocoa, FL, in Dec. I purchased the green/white one. All are great shots! Thanks for sharing with us!
