Carpels and Stamens

2008.05.10
If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

Buddha

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.


John Lennon

You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.

Walter Hagen

One of the most attractive things about the flowers is their beautiful reserve.

Henry David Thoreau

I said to the almond tree, ''Friend, speak to me of God,'' and the almond tree blossomed.

Nikos Kazantzakis

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

Rainer Maria Rilke,

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.

Margaret Atwood

Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.

Rainer Maria Rilke

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.

Attributed to Claudia Ghandi

The flower is the poetry of reproduction.
It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.
— Jean Giraudoux

focussed I just love how the focus into the center of the flower in each of these shots ties them all together. The colors and textures in #2 are just exquisite.

carmitage Very beautiful set, splendid macro. The words have touched me deeply, my mother died last month, I covered her coffin with spring flowers ... "If I had a single flower for every time I think about you,
I could walk forever in my garden" Claudia Ghandi.
Thank you for this beautiful post

camilleauteuil her great word, look! -, meant : look at the hairy caterpillar, similar to a small golden bear ! look at the first growth of the bean, the cotyledon which is raising on the head a small hat of dry ground, look at the wasp which is cuting, with its mandibles like shears, a part of raw meat ; look at the color of the sky at sunset, which is announcing big wind and tempest ; that the big wind of tomorrow matters if we admired this current oven ! look, fast, the button of the black iris is blooming ! if you don't hurry, it will go faster than you ! - COLETTE (about her mother, Sido )
