\"Asclepias<\/a>

Asclepias tuberosa \u2018Hello Yellow\u2019<\/p><\/div>\n

On Tuesday, May 22, 2012<\/a> I posted a photo of Asclepias curassavica<\/em> (Mexican Butterfly Weed) which I initially labeled incorrectly as Asclepias tuberosa<\/em>. It has a beautiful bi-color flower with orange corollas and yellow corona lobes. It is really something beautiful. That’s not to say that Asclepias tuberosa<\/em> isn’t worth having, as well. <\/p>\n

In general it’s flowers are a sort of mottled orange with the same color on both corollas and corona lobes. This variety is called ‘Hello Yellow’ and as you can see, is a bright yellow version.<\/p>\n

We have both this and the standard orange version in our back border and they are doing very well. I particularly like this yellow version, though.<\/p>\n

I think at some point I’ll get very close and take a few pictures of individual flowers or parts of flowers. The problem with doing that outside is that the slightest breeze makes it nearly impossible to get it into focus long enough for a good picture.<\/p>\n

Also, I need to figure out how to get the color temperature set right when I take pictures of predominately one, bright color. Pictures of a blue sky with only sky and clouds tend to come out an unnaturally intense blue. Pictures of bright yellow flowers also shift the auto-white balance unnaturally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
