remains of the bunch

I never throw out a whole bunch of flowers when the first ones die but cut the survivors down and put them in a smaller vase (and then cut them down and put in an even smaller vase). And I'm always more than 'thankful' for flowers.
Lovely flowers and pot.

Lovely little display of flowers. Is the jug a purchase from one if your French holidays?

@purplehaze12

The jug was a gift from some friends and came from M&S planted with a little blue campanula - I find it really useful.

Very pretty

A fantastic capture.

Sweet image - a lady after my own heart -- I also cut down the survivors from a dying bunch and display in smaller vases etc until there is no more life

A lovely shot and I really like the way you have cropped this. Its really successful and brings attention to the jug and the flowers.

@tishpics

Thank you, Patricia. The cropping was in the taking of the shot and I was trying to highlight the jug and flowers, so I appreciate your comment,. This is one of my homework examples(using certain settings) for session 4 of the digital photograpy work shop tomorrow. I think your shot of George today is absolutely ace!

Beautiful shot - and perhaps we should make you Chancellor of the Exchequer.

This is a beautiful shot

Nice picture, intuitive recycling - sort of thing we do, no need for lectures from eco-warriors!

@gooner46

You're absolutely joking, Chris - in view of my (lack of) numerical skills!!!

@ivan

I like your expression 'intuitive recycling' - suspect it comes from being brought up by post-war parents!

We call that: zuinig. Need a lot of jars. I buy mostly a few (3) flowers not a whole bunch . Nice pic. of it.

@pyrrhula

I usually get my flowers in the supermarket and you can only buy them in bunches there - suppose I could go to a florist but I had never thought of it!

@pyrrhula

Does zuinig = thrifty?
November 5th, 2013  
I get them at the supermarket when reduced - and also cut the bunch down as some die :)
Lovely container!

@quietpurplehaze Economical , frugal, thrifty . In the good sense it means ,
not spent to much and take good care for it.
November 5th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze We can buy it by both shops.
November 5th, 2013  
I do too, what a lovely pic
November 6th, 2013  
Lovely

@pyrrhula

Yes, thanks, that's what I thought - but now I can't be sure how to pronounce it! My parents were zuinig but I guess they had to be.

Very pretty, I like the simple color of the vase with the pinks. I do the same with flowers, making use of smaller vases too.
November 6th, 2013  
This is such a pretty shot! Love it!
