Flower Treasures | still life photography
Although I enjoy gardening, my flower garden is a learning process. I intended to grow flowers so that I could have a never ending supply of fresh bouquets. That hasn't really happened, but I can find many flower treasures among the weeds and dirt.
Flowers in my Garden
This year I planted some tall bachelor buttons, sweet peas, zinnias, cosmos and a variety of other flowers that have not yet bloomed. There are a few returning blooms, too, like alstroemerias, lavender, yarrow - the perennials.
Flower Challenge
I was feeling a bit discouraged the other day while watering. It just didn't seem like there were many blossoms as I had expected for this time of year. So I challenged myself to find some flower treasures and make a small bouquet. One of my favorite new fillers is the oregano from the herb garden that has gone to seed. I'm pretty happy with my little pot of blossoms!
"Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."
