This aged tulip really stood out among the almost countless tulips for what it seemed to represent. It stood as a symbol of enduring grace. Set against the silent background I created through a blend of processing, the solitary flower is a quiet requiem for transience, where every fold of the petal holds a whispered memory. It offers a vivid reminder that nature is beautiful even in its final gestures.</div> Don Sutherland https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52527842 tag:ipernity.com,2024-07-07,doc-52527842 Sun, 07 Jul 2024 20:40:28 +0000 2024-07-03T07:19:20-04:00 nobody@ipernity.com (Don Sutherland) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/285547">Don Sutherland</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52527842"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/78/42/52527842.c9086d89.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="180" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Daylily Hemerocallis 'Eftihia' at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—July 3, 2024</div> Daylily Hemerocallis &#039;Eftihia&#039; <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/285547">Don Sutherland</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52527842"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/78/42/52527842.c9086d89.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="180" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Daylily Hemerocallis 'Eftihia' at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—July 3, 2024</div> Don Sutherland https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52519814 tag:ipernity.com,2024-07-01,doc-52519814 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 19:12:33 +0000 2024-05-19T15:10:00-04:00 nobody@ipernity.com (Don Sutherland) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/285547">Don Sutherland</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52519814"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/98/14/52519814.11bb9ab6.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="180" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Tall bearded iris 'Iris Chromatography' at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—May 19, 2024</div> Tall Bearded Iris <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/285547">Don Sutherland</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52519814"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/98/14/52519814.11bb9ab6.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="180" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Tall bearded iris 'Iris Chromatography' at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—May 19, 2024</div> Don Sutherland https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52513858 tag:ipernity.com,2024-06-25,doc-52513858 Tue, 25 Jun 2024 23:31:38 +0000 2024-05-25T09:37:29-04:00 nobody@ipernity.com (Don Sutherland) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/285547">Don Sutherland</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52513858"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/38/58/52513858.48631b8b.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="180" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Floribunda rose (Candy Cane Cocktail) at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—May 25, 2024</div> Rose <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/285547">Don Sutherland</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/52513858"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/38/58/52513858.48631b8b.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="180" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Floribunda rose (Candy Cane Cocktail) at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—May 25, 2024</div> Don Sutherland https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/48812278 tag:ipernity.com,2019-06-28,doc-48812278 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 21:23:29 +0000 2019-06-28T17:23:29-04:00 nobody@ipernity.com (Don Sutherland) <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/285547">Don Sutherland</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/285547/48812278"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/22/78/48812278.885cc22b.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="180" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">Corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) in full bloom at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—June 28, 2019<br /> <br /> The Corpse Flower is native to Sumatra, Indonesia.

Just days earlier, spring had asserted itself quite forcefully with the temperature rising to 77°F (25.0°C) on April 13 and 75° (23.9°C) on April 14 in New York City. However, the spring party was brought to an abrupt end during the afternoon of the 15th. Just ahead of a strong cold front, the temperature peaked at 63°F (17.2°C) at 4:01 pm EDT. Afterward, much colder air swept away spring’s warmth as a steady rain developed. During the night, the rain changed to sleet and then snow as the temperature dove.

That newspaper wrote:<br /> <br /> <i>His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,<br /> Descend and clothe the ground.</i><br /> <br /> In the wake of the snowfall, the temperature bottomed out at 31°F (-0.6°C) in New York City. That was New York City’s first April freeze since April 9, 2007.
