Monday Flower Blogging
I hope this isn't terribly lame and boring-- I've built up quite the collection of flower photos due to the English enthusiasm and flare for gardening. First it was the rose gardens at Blenheim Palace and now wherever I go I keep seeing interesting blossoms. Even today on my way to class I encountered some giant bouquets left over from a rather large wedding reception that was held here at the manor house. We lowley guests were asked to scamper into the wood work for the whole thing and stay out of sight, so I don't know how it actually went, but it seems they had a big tent and lovely flowers.
These are from the beginning of the queue, from the rose garden at Blenheim. It was great light that day and it was like being in the middle of a Waterhouse painting.
The last picture is a bit smaller than I usually do because I cropped it out of a larger one. I tried to get some pictures of this blossom individually but they had a shadow cast across them. This was one of my favorites, because it smelled like My Little Ponies, i.e. amazingly fantastically sweet and awesome.
Good smelling enough to eat, in fact.
Just kidding, I didn't actually eat what was probably a really expensive heirloom and probably grew out of manure fertilizer.
Have a good Monday, and I'll see you again with flowers for as many Mondays as the flowers hold out.
