FLOWERING POWER.

Flower powers from Russia. These flowers are from my most favorite collections, Prokudin-Gorskii housed in the Library of Congress archives. The power really lies within the colors the photographs exude. The brightness of leaves, flowers, trees, grasses pull me into the world of the Russian Empire circa 1905. More Russia love here and here. and even more from the Denver Post. (though they crop the best part, the psychedelic border!)
