True Blue


One of the few plants that flowers naturally in the colour blue. It's Alaska's State Flower too. It's the forget-me-not.

Mum’s the Word

It was back into the macro studio with some fresh cut flower stems. A spider mum this time, also known as a football mum. There's a fly in the apartment, and these flowers are known for their ability to produce a natural insecticide, so we'll see just how long this fly ends up flying around in here.

In The Weeds

I sourced this from the vacant lot around the corner thinking it was chamomile, but it might just be some sort of daisy. I think it's artsy and pretty... although it's kind of weird to compliment a weed like that since these things usually just get pulled out from the lawn along with 4-letter words.

You’ve Been Pink’d

I don't know why, but this shot makes me feel like the Easter Bunny is coming. I guess just because of the pastel colours since I don't think Gerbera Daisies are spring flowers.
