One of the many things we love about putting together every issue of Garden Design magazine is selecting photography and working with wonderful photographers who really know how to capture the beauty of landscapes and plants. We thought we'd say "Happy 4th of July" to you all by sending three images from previous issues—in red, white, and blue. Enjoy!

Red: Papaver commutatum (ladybird poppy). Photo by Claire Takacs. In the article The Great Great Dixter in our Spring 2015 issue.

White: Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant'. Photo by Kindra Clineff. In the article Wishing for a White Garden in our Early Spring 2015 issue.
