I like this one. Lotus blossom.

Chocolatl · 02-08-2009, 02:42 PM

I love the pollen on the lotus blossom! So wonderfully detailed.

Thanks Gravdigr. Your rose is enchanting. Is that in your yard? It is just perfect, what a beautiful blossom. All your pictures are lovely. Thank you for sharing them.

TheMercenary · 03-09-2009, 07:44 AM

Love the Columbine.

Gravdigr · 03-18-2009, 04:43 PM

Yes, V it is in one of Mom's flower corners. Only slightly bigger than a quarter.

BigV · 04-21-2011, 05:17 PM

Here are a couple shots of the results of yesterday's "work". It was interesting to see the same flowers year over year. They really do look lovely. I broke one of the pink tulips in the process, it's now inside with me.

That is so pretty, Big V. Do you have to replant the tulip bulbs every year?

Sundae · 04-23-2011, 07:49 AM

I'll answer for him from experience.
No. Tulips and daffodils are perennials. The bulbs bloom every year.
I brought some bulbs back form Amsterdam for the 'rents. Supposed to be black, but in fact dark purple. Still, they stand out among the red and yellow

One of the things I like to see is where gardens are not completely loved by new inhabitants, but the perennials come up anyway. It's more likely in Indian/ Pakistani households, where gardens are kept tidy but not tended. British/ white households tend to let the whole thing go, so you can't see the flowers even if they do come up for the litter and plastic bags strewn about.
