Linnaeus Floral Exhibit by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Linnaeus Floral Exhibit

Winchester Cathedral's flower festival has the theme 'Resonance' and every exhibit is beautiful. I had a few favourites but of all the photos I took, this oneof part of the floral display celebrating Carl Linnaeus, was my favourite.

Much vintage and modern glassware- felt the urge to fossick away this pretty blue bottle!

Beautiful!

I like the blue vase and contents! (Have never worked out the logistics of getting to the Cathedral on a scooter, where to safely park it while using one of their wheelchairs guess I'll leave it for a while now!!)

Lovely collection of glass, I too would want to kidnap that blue bottle

That was my first thought….no wonder Jackie loves this….it has her favorite glassware. I agree it is beautiful.

Lovely capture of the flowers and glassware. I can see how it might be tempting.

I'm only recently starting to appreciate still life a little more. Always thought it boring. Love this though.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that sometimes they take the pews out of the cathedral. I am in social distancing now ready for my operation and I guess it will be after that before we visit and hopefully I shall be following the plan of standing on my own two feet!!!

I can see why you were down to this Jackie and why you found that blue bottle very alluring :)
