Bits and pieces...

Flowers are beautiful, aren't they? But today I want to look at blooms differently... Instead of the whole, I want to look at the parts. At bits and pieces. See the colors and shapes... And I'd like to start from this poppy... Bright and intricate...

 

The poppies were so bright that I wanted to see something more delicate next... and what could be better than white irises? With its complex and unimaginable petals curling around the center piece... sparkling in the sun...

Yeah, I know I promised you parts only... but I couldn't just walk past these California Poppies and not snatch this image, aren't they adorable?

But the irises were the best. Simply the best of the best... they come in different colors and patterns and... I love them dearly ;)

These flowers seem very simple and subtle when you see them from a human's height... you can pass by without noticing them, but if you get closer and have a better look... you will find out that they are more complex and mysterious.

I think I could spend hours looking at iris petals and tracing the lines. Thinking of them as roads or mountain ridges of the world we will never be able to visit...

There were very few tulips in the garden today. But they still attract visitors, especially these wild-looking and very simple ones.

This iris is amazing and unbelievably beautiful! Isn't it? And what about the next one? :)

And... we started with poppy so let's end with the poppy too... California Poppy :)
