a bit dangerous to stare into the sun…

but i did it anyway. I had a family photo shoot at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens today. When I finished…this sight stopped me in my tracks. The orange poppies were absolutely stunning & now they’re mine.

the backyard blueberry bush

Blueberries wear a crown, just to remind us all of how powerful they are in being an antioxidant. 🙂

the blue zebra primrose

Yes, you can put primrose into a vase. The vase just needs to be a thimble sized one.  I made this vase with oven dry clay.

the classic flowers rock

Why would anyone think the classics, Geranium & Ranunculus should be passed by at the nursery for some high fashioned hybrid? Man, all those buds are a promise of a great things to come.

growing fire

this is a type of Gerber daisy I’ve never seen before. the stems were about 12″ tall, perfect for putting the blossoms in a vase. I found this at Leaf & Petal located in Cahaba Heights.

a poppy & a coke

i took my flowers to the lake on Sunday. they had a wonderful time.
