trying to capture the world…my way

Creamy elegance

I love roses and the white ones I find especially elegant. This beauty is growing in our garden which I luckily can admire everyday.

Strawberry blossom

The strawberry plants we bought from the garden centre are coming along nicely, the flower blossoms and the beginnings of fruit in this photo are a good sign and I can’t wait until they grow, ripen and are ready to eat

Cacti

I saw these miniature cacti and remembered how much my sister likes them so decided to get them for her. Within a few days I could see how they’d grown and sprouted pretty flowers

I love the pop of colour of the flowers and the almost geometrical pattern of the sharp thorns/leaves. I find these plants really interesting, each slightly different but part of the same family.

Layered

I love how the layers of the textured petals are so distinctive and separated and make the flower head look voluminous.

Apple blossom

My little nephew is really pleased with his apple tree and takes good care of it. These pretty blossoms should mean that he is able to enjoy the delicious fruits of his labour later in the year.

Trip to the garden centre

Posted on April 29, 2015 by myeye1

Every year in early Spring my mum visits our local garden centre to buy a range of plants for our garden, this year I happened to have a few days of work so decided to tag along. There was a wide range of flower and vegetable plants to choose from.

There were also some interesting garden ornaments; I love the giant chess pieces and the elephants and cheeky gnomes would make a nice addition to any garden too. I was also intrigued to see the old fashioned styled brooms made of straw.

We got a little carried away and it was hard to not buy at least one of everything, but in the end we chose some strawberry and pepper plants and and variety of flowers so we have a range of treats for the eyes and tastebuds to look forward to.

Violet stalk

I really like the violet ‘bulbs’ of this flower which look like they could burst open at any time. I also like how the stalk growing tall and straight has a violet hue to match

All the colours

This is a close up of one of the tulips I bought my mum recently. I love how the petals took on a rainbow of colours as they opened. It makes me think perhaps someone has brushed on strokes of watercolour paint to create this beautiful effect.
