Beautiful
Lilac purple
Pattern plays
On my mind.
No one knows
How lovely
You are.
Growing quietly
in my garden
Bestowing lovely
Unfolding petals
In my heart.
My soul.

Nasturtium
Flowers outside by our front door. I love the Nasturtium flowers, then I really enjoy the round leaves with slender veins running to a central spot. Nasturtium flowers can be used in salads. I think the leaves and seeds can be eaten too? Orange and pepper flavouring. The blue green grass next to the plants are a nice contrast.
Tuesday flower prompt
Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was flower. I decided to do a collage of a flower… I was going to draw a hanging basket but they got bashed in the hail from a thunderstorm. So I decided to create something from post it notes and coloured paper. Also holographic paper and black calligraphy pen.
Flock or Phlox?
Next to my raspberries a tallish purple flower stands. I think it’s a phlox? I’m not sure of the spelling. Homonyms, words that sound the same but are spelt /spelled differently.
The English language can trip you up. It has evolved, with different spelling rules like ‘i before e except after c’, which isn’t always correct.
Anyway, back to this plant. I was really pleased I managed to get a reasonably close image of the flowers. With water droplets visible on the petals. Any ideas on identification?
Poppy
I just love them, their colour, brilliance, shape, papery petals. Colourful flowers that are imbued with sorrow because they were used to commemorate wars. They sprang up in the fields of flanders after the battles there. And yet to me they don’t signify fighting or fears, but memories of summers long gone, my favourite colour and how tiny seeds can create such magnificent flowers.
Passion flower
Fascinating flower
Full of passion
Enchanted star
Frilled and stellar
Surviving the coldull
Full faced like the sun
Blooming with mystery
Suffragette colours
Passionate
Strong.
First Aubretia
A tiny flower
Promises so much.
Spring will bring
A cloud of purple
Buds and blooms
Life springs out
From cracks and crevices,
Waiting warm dew drops
To water them.
Ahh sweet smell
Of flora…

Old photo
old memories
garden surprise
brings smiles to my eyes.
Rose
Pink and beautiful.
It’s amazing how this has gone from a drooping bud to a full blown Rose. I use the plant food that came with the flowers.
I don’t know what the ingredients are, the stuff in the little plastic packet is clear and sticky, is it a sugar mix or something like a high energy energy drink?
Nowadays flowers seem to last a lot longer if you feed and look after them.
A perfect subject for art.
Rock flower
Saw a flower
Dried out and blue.
Made of rock
Solid it grew.
Crystal’s like needles
Splayed out flat
Like a dandelion
A flower, splat!
