Looking for a place in the FND/Plano/Richardson area (or there abouts) that has a mix of pretty flowers. Arboritum is out due to restrictive hours. Needed for Monday 6/14...

It is the wrong time of year to be searching for lots of flowers.

All the flowers are dead in Richardson now, so I don't think you'll find anything.

A cool place to take them would be Prairie Creek Falls in Richardson by the waterfalls

Or...Breckenridge Park. In lot A (I think) you can get down on the rocks by the bridge beside the water and get some cool shots.

Lots of roses and irises at my park in Farmers Branch. Farmers Branch Historical Park, 2540 Farmers Branch Lane.

Drop me a line if you have any questions.

Hope you found a suitable spot. Tracie's suggestion of Praire Creek Falls was a good one. Shooting on a Monday (even when school is out) would've been ideal. That place turns into a photography forum on the weekends.

Turns out we couldnt mesh out schedules and she is now on a senior trip...

I have shot at Prarie Creek Falls - I understand they lost that great big tree that made the lighting sooo nice. I have not seen for myself though...

Breckenridge Park - that is funny - My wife, daughter and son are all there doing a day camp this week, just down the hill from the parking lot on the back side of lot a. I will be there helping to pick up in a few hours. You are right - that lake area and bridge is way cool.

I completely forgot about the Farmers Branch site... She is REEEEEEELLLLLY wanting flowers - COLOR POP is the term that she is using...


Thanks to all for your great suggestions!
