Flowers are the friendly gift we discover

in the silent walks of life

--- Patricia Feager

 

 

 

The flowers in the collages I created above and below are Spring flowers from Switzerland. For me, they are like ancestors from an ancient world, the custodians of the earth for butterflies, bees and other useful insects. Plus, they are intimate when it comes to human connections. Through my eyes, spring flowers exalt awareness that winter is about to end and spring is in transition.  

 

 

Swiss flowers grew through stone masonry, in the forest, on trees in the middle of farm land, and were seen widespread. These flowers grew independently of people's gardens. Little stones, nuts, and wood chips were everywhere giving accents to natural floral deliveries spread out to everyone who walked by. I could see them growing routinely among rural buildings and old fences. The various flowers and plants favoured the growth and development over periods of time. The first time I came upon the very last wildflowers in the bottom right corner of the collage above, I thought someone planted them. However, the more hiking I did, I saw they were as common as dandelions in cities around America. They grew everywhere!!!

 

 

Flowers. Flowers. Everywhere I saw flowers. They filled the cracks and vacant spaces as if it was deliberately planted. They were placed in irregular spaces without a blueprint or a plan. Flowers. They are the medicine for the soul, the architect of the forest, and the modern invention for graphic designs created not by man or woman, but by Mother Nature.

Those are so pretty. The purple ones made me think of my mother. She loved all kinds of purple flowers. I love the yellow ones, Patricia.

Debbie Reynolds - Switzerland had an abundance of purple flowers. It makes me happy to know they caused you to think about your mother and it's nice to know the yellow ones in the photographs made you happy.


Purple is my favorite color flowers and color in general too. But I love all flowers.

I love your description of flowers as medicine for the soul. We could use some of that medicine right about now. This is like a never ending winter for us!

Sharon Tara - The weather has been unpredictable in many places. I hope spring comes soon to NH and that you begin to smell the flowers soon.


Thank you for letting me know you liked one of my descriptions.

Oh my gosh, what stunning photos, Patricia! Don't you just love the 'unkept' beauty when nature is allowed to grow randomly, filling vacant spaces and flowering in places you never would expect? Reminds me of English gardens - they're just so captivating!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - It's very nice to know you thought my photos of flowers were stunning. I really got to appreciate seeing spring in another country, in particular one much older than what I experience in our country. I feel you would have enjoyed them very much too.
