Wild Flowers


I am neither artristic nor creative, but still when the mood come, I try to create something special, but the outcome is normally a sad product of what I want them to be :D

Here is some proof of what I tried to create :


Wild flowers

 
 

What I actually tried to imitate :D
 
Fresh flowers from the shop
White, blue and pink
 

 Aren't they pretty?

Those from the flower shop I mean :D

Jumping Jacks and Jane


While trying to locate pictures of spring flowers and tulips yesterday, I came across these pictures taken in the first week of April 2012, the only evidence of tulips blooming this year.




The quality of the tulips was not very good compared to last year due to a number of reasons, I think :

- I did not cut the flowers and let the leaves be, a process that gives nutrients to the bulbs for the next season.

- I did not dug out the bulbs and keep them in dry place and replant them in the ground come November.

- Frost, snow and freezing weather in February caused the newly sprouted leaves to turn brown.



Still, I enjoy looking at the pictures no matter what, especially the joy on the faces of the children :D
