78kb An African Violet (a good-bye present when I left Ballard Computer) just beginning its bloom cycle.
47kb(color)   44kb(b&w)		 101kb This blooming African Violet is from one of many cuttings going back to Lorri's grandmother's violets.
123kb Aloe - it's good for healing burns, too! In the time it took to get a second picture, a cloud moved over the Sun. So lighting's a bit weird on the eyes. 213kb White alyssum, a cloyingly sweet-smelling ground cover plant. Kind of a messy photo, 3D or otherwise.
102kb Bearded Iris, growing in the front yard.
79kb 		139kb Bigroot Cranesbill is a creeping vine. If you're viewing the pair at 1024x768 on a 17" monitor, it's very close to life-sized.
161kb
259 A medley of Wallflower and Wood Hyacinth, making a very Swedish display.
259kb		 212kb Cedar bushes. It's a fun picture. One of those that doesn't look like much in 2D, but really has depth in 3D.
111kb Daffodils, one overcast spring morning.
125kb		 134kb Daffodils, another view.
114kb
113kb This Dutch iris difficult. The base was a bit wide, the bush in the distance is relatively far, and everything around the stem is a similar green. If you can get this, you're doing really well. 144kb Closeup of the fuchsia in the back yard.
141kb Flox, in the back yard. It's supposed to be dwarf - half a meter high. It grew to over a meter.
189kb		 113kb A closeup of the flox flower, in shade.
139kb
106kb Gaillardia is a plant that flowers almost incessantly until late fall. The blossom shown here is about 4 inches across. 128kb Here's a view of the whole gaillardia plant.
347kb
169kb This French lilac grows in front of our porch.
152kb		 207kb Lithodora, AKA the "Drew" plant in our house, 'cause we first saw it at his house. Neat ground cover plant. Baseline's about 3 inches.
132kb You usually see the money plant in dried flower arrangements. The plant has circular seed pods with transluscent membranes. The result looks like clusters of elf coins on stalks.122kb 213kb These mushrooms sprouted along the leftover roots of a removed tree in the back yard.
319kb
115kb Persian Speedwell is actually very tiny. The blossoms are about 1cm across.
88kb  135kb		 143kb Pieris is a bush. The flowers are perhaps 1cm tall.
140kb
161kb Snow is cradled in the branches of our neighbor's pine. It's the same plant as in this picture, from the "Seattle" section.
267kb		 196kb Another view in the neighbor's pine, snow collected on the central trunk.
300kb
160kb The rhododendron seems to be very popular here in the NW. This one's on the south side of our house.
123kb		 127kb Here's a closeup of a blossom cluster. Next step: smell-o-vision!
120kb
97kb Lorri's pretty sure this is a saffron crocus (but I don't think it's commercially viable). The grey spot on the petal almost dead center of the photo is a hole. A bug ate it, I guess. 103kb One of my original stereo photos, these sea pink flower clusters are about an inch across.
136kb This whimsical shot turned out rather well, if I do say so myself. These are all Early Girl tomatoes from our yard. They should have been four times this size. I'm beginning to really dislike living under clouds. 130kb Some tulips I got in La Conner on a work trip to our office there. The background is black felt, and it disappears much more effectively in the "Figurines" series.
134kb Vinca minor is a ground-cover vine with purple trumpet flowers, a little smaller than a thumb.
119kb (color)		 169kb Violets are pretty, until you realize that they proliferate faster than cockroaches. Keep them in pots, unless you're looking for a ground cover.
120kb (color)  120kb (b&w)
235kb The Grecian Windflower is a type of aster. The blossoms are about 3cm across.
328kb		 110kb Wood hyacinth is the real name for this "bluebell", about to blossom. That's Bigroot Cranesbill on the left.
