Chocolate and flowers, reinvented

Written by Alpenglow Images on January 28th, 2010

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner; its a perfect day to reconnect and to remind each other what you mean to one another.

One of the most popular gifts on Valentine’s Day is chocolate and flowers.  These are both a tried and true tradition on February 14, however, despite the giver’s best intentions, neither gift will last for very long.  This year, I suggest you put a new twist on the traditional chocolate and flowers, and give my Chocolate Lily print to your loved one.

Chocolate Lilies

Chocolate Lilies, April 2009

Chocolate lilies are a widespread but relatively uncommon plant in several places along the Pacific coast.  I photographed these flowers last spring at one of their strongholds, the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, in the southern Santa Ana Mountains, near Murrieta California.

From now through February 14, I’m offering this print at a 30% discount.  All other floral photography is 20% off.

And, if you’re wondering, my wife already has this print hanging in our house.

    They are lovely to look at, but they sure don’t smell very good. They are also called diaper lilies and outhouse lilies here in Alaska. (Maybe elsewhere too) A nice print makes a fine Valentine, but don’t try giving the actual flower. Might send the wrong message.
