Mosaic Monday
This happy mix of photos taken in my garden is as busy as the photographer-gardener-blogger they belong to. However, there's great harmony in this thematic presentation of a happy garden.
Today's Flowers
For you, I offer my pale petunias, my pink and red dianthus, my deep red hydrangeas, my vermillion gerberas, my creamy yellow water-lilies, my lilac hydrangeas, my ripe, orange kumquats, and my deep purple water-lilies. I an not doing justice to each of these flowers I have mentioned, but I promise to feature them one at a time in the following weeks.
Fertilizer Friday
A tribute to the magic of fertilizing our plants...all of these flowers are in peak performance mode, thanks to the tender loving care provided by the mulching, the organic fertilizers and the watering...brought to you by yours truly, the galloping gardener. I practically had to pick up speed to Mach 5 to get all these chores done for the garden to look great for the festive season.
ABC Wednesday
Now how am I going to convert my happy mix of flowers for the letter D? With disdain for the game, and not dutifully sticking to the rules? No, that would be disgaceful. D it is for this Wednesday. D for the apparent disorder of my photographs. Yes, let's debate on this...is a collage representative of Disorder or Delight? I speak for Delight! This collage is definitely a delight for the beholder. When the eyes get tired of the details of macro images, they can turn to a collage . Let our sense of sight drift in delectable delight over the pictures. There's a surprising discovery at every turn, never a dull moment when we study a collage. Do not be deceived, there is design in the apparent disorder.
Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day
Here in Malaysia, around this time of the year, there are more blooms than ever because it is the festive season. I have new plants which provide more gaiety to the Lunar New Year celebrations, and old plants that have felt obliged to put on a grand show...so that is why my garden is really abundant with blooms now.Hope you enjoy the collage of festive blooms.
So there, I've done it...I have made it, all with one collage.
Do click on the links of ABC Wednesday, Today's Flowers, Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, Fertilizer Friday, Mosaic Monday...you know where to find them-at the bottom of the page, of course.
Happy travels from blog to blog, everyone.
Rosie, beautiful arrangement of flowers for all those happy days! I envy your mosaics, still couldnt get how to do them yet...slow old brain!
ReplyDelete@ p3 - Thanks, I'm using picasa3-simple to use, and has more functions than picasa web albums.Just cuba-cuba, sooner or later it will work.
ReplyDeleteoops, p3chandan, this is my new blog's user name, I haven't launched it yet, looks like I have to change the setting.
