The sunlight through the petals and leaves looked lovely against the backdrop of the snow outside. Sunshine in Alaska always seems precious, even indoors—especially during a long dark winter. We grew these from bulbs at this south-facing window in our main living area. This has become my most popular and purchased shot. I’m humbled.
