“Flora Photography can cover a wide range of visual interpretations of all forms of plant life. Images may include domestic or wild plants, such as flowers, grasses, trees, crops, forests, mushrooms, and cacti, both living or dead. Flora photography often emphasizes color, texture, patterns, and “personality” of the subject. Flora photography can also attempt to capture the mystical side of nature. In Roman mythology, “Flora” was the goddess of spring, of nature and flowering plants, and was the goddess of youth. Create a photograph of Flora.”.
