I was thrilled by Ludwig's fantastic flower image in his thread at Spring comes to Georgia and, realizing that he lives nearby, was encouraged to go out and take some Spring flower pictures. So off to the local garden center to see what they have available.
It seems that they have a beautiful selection of Souvenir Oriental Lillies on display so I thought that for my first flower picture of the new year, I'd do a 'before' and 'after'.
Now that I'm back from vacation, I hope you weren't expexcting that 'The Souvenir' would be from one of those tacky tourist shops that make you say 'why in the world did I buy this' as soon as you got it home?
Here is the 'Before'...
...and, of course, the 'After'.
Ah yes, Spring is in the air...
Spring is sprung,
Da grass is riz;
I wonder where
Da birdies is?
