Unfamiliar Flowers

We celebrate with flowers, we console with flowers. We show our love with them and we decorate with them. The bloody things are everywhere! And that is a good thing.


They are also everywhere on photography and social sites.


Sadly, most photos of flowers are, well, kinda boring. They would fit well in a flower catalogue or botanical library, but they are rarely anything more than that.


Photography is about being more then that.


In an almost certainly vain attempt at putting this to rights, I’ve been at the old photoshop again.



Sorry Guys.



Whilst wandering the fields around our new home to be, our resident cuisiniste had what appeared to be a neurological attack of some sort. He had in fact spotted some wild orchids at some considerable distance. It turns out that our future land is home to a variety of orchids, some quite rare and protected.


Hopefully that means a ban on me mowing the grass.



Meanwhile, back at the old homestead, the garden is going nuts with flowers of all shapes and sizes.





Even in town, the colours are eye candy.



All this is great for lifting the spirit at times of dire despair and mild discomfort.


Of course, back in normal land, it is not just flowers that are blooming. Weeds are growing and reproducing at a rate of knots…



This one I call the ‘Van dear Graaff Seed Generator’…


More flowery grunge here


Hugs and flowers
