Anyway, that got me to thinking about flowers I never could get around to appreciating. There are some like the Rafflesia above, that would turn your stomach or are just plain ugly. But I am talking about the normal, everyday commercially available flowers. I suppose my dislikes are based more on mental blocks than anything else, but nevertheless I have them.
Sorry, to me they just look like the stem threw up the flower.
The petals look so wilted, they make me sad.
Every time I see one, I am reminded of that creepy baby in Teletubbies™.
Honestly, it looks to me like threads unravelling and makes me itch to sew it back together.
As pretty and sunburst-like and colorful, I just can’t get past the old Language of Flowers my grandmother taught me when I was five. It was considered the Death Flower. BIG block there for me.
So there you have my Thursday list. File it away for future reference 😉
UPDATE!!!
Hubby pointed out it isn’t Coreopsis but the Cone Flower that I think is sad. “I am good for something”, he said. I agreed 😀
