Capturing the subtle details of an Indiana wildflower is important to photographer Marc Evans,
especially if the wildflowers might not come up next year.
This year’s colder weather has caused some of the area’s most beautiful wildflowers to bloom later
than usual or not at all.
“The colder temperature we have now has really delayed things,” said Evans, 47, a southern Indiana
native and a member of the Indiana Native Plant & Wildflower Society. “The last two years have
been really warm.”
Based on Evans’ research, more than 64 different varieties of wildflowers bloomed in the local area
from January to May in 2012. Evans has documented 11 wildflower varieties that have bloomed
between January and March of this year. As temperatures warm, more wildflowers, as well as many
trees and shrubs including sassafras and redbud trees, will begin to bloom.
Evans produces various photography projects for McCormick’s Creek State Park. His interest in plant
photography began about 20 years ago when he first started going to the state park.
Evans photographs the flowers for others using two cameras: a Panasonic DMC-F27 and a Fujifilm
FinePix S4200.
“Each one has advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on what I’m trying to take a picture of,”
Evans said on his choice of camera.
