'Ash' Wednesday: Lenten roses..........

...........just floating, happier than imprisoned in a vase.
Lovely shot - sublime and colourful :)

Thank you. A lot of effort went into this! Started off with a pink glass bowl which I knew was wrong but I just kept taking shots trying to make it right (note to self to remember to give up earlier next time this happens). Finally thought about a plain white pudding/cereal bowl and then it was fine.

Very nice and beautiful. Greatly composed and wonderful captured of those beautiful flowers.
The Dutch name for it is : a `` drijfschaal `` arrangement ( Floating bowl,plate ,dish arrangement ? )

Thank you and I like the Dutch word 'drijfschaal' which sounds 'floating' to me - we don't have a special word for this arrangement.

So delicate and serene floating there. A lovely shot, and the white bowl is perfect.

One thing i found when i picked these hellebores was that the lighter one had not disappeared from our garden as I thought. They hang their heads as you know, so I couldn't see their colour properly until I brought them in.

Thank you for your comments and for the fav. Now I know how to have hellebores indoors as in a vase they just droop straightaway. These are still doing fine, 2 days on.

In my childhood time I`m use to cycle between the tulips fields. My Dad was grow up there and my Grandmother did live there those day`s

I can imagine you have wonderful memories of those cycle rides. When I first saw tulip fields, I could hardly believe it.
