Sorry I’ve not been on here much at all the last week – ’twas my birthday in there, and I had the week off so I was doing stuffs. Didn’t do the Cartoon Challenge, didn’t post any of the other fabulous flowers I have to share with you, or the one fun place I went over the weekend. Soonish, I’m sure.
But I committed to doing a once a week all-tigridia post, so I must do so!
Wednesday:
Thursday: it was windy! But my size-large hand is in one of these, so you get an idea of how big these blooms are. Sorry they are a bit battered by the wind.
Friday: I didn’t get out front to take any pictures. I suck.
Saturday: it was wet.
Sunday:
Whoops, a bug in the shot. Whoops, my toes in the shot.
That’s okay – I took it again using Hipstamatic. Looks pretty good in B&W!
Getting there – Monday there were NONE. I guess they needed a break.
Tuesday, yesterday as I’m all messed up and didn’t know what day it is until just now: there were six, but I knew I’d be tired of posting pics by now (and I am) so I did four in one shot – is that cheating?
I have a wee quiz this week! One of the days in this week’s line up wasn’t taken with my iPhone 4, it was taken with our fancy-pants camera – a Nikon D3100 – instead. If you get the correct answer, I will post (mail) a packet of mixed tigridia seeds to you from 2013 (if you want them, of course). I know they are viable as I have oodles of seedlings, some now a good foot tall. They may not bloom until next year or the year after, but isn’t that half the fun of gardening from seed? Of course I will help with any germination questions. Good luck!
Contest closes next Tuesday, August 12.
Hope you enjoyed the photos – it’s a good feeling for me to save them here since they only last a few hours.
Beautiful pics, and happy belated birthday! 🙂
Thanks, darlin’!
Ooo, like the white ones.
Is your birthday responsible for the confusion about remembering what day it is?
Nah, it was a bank holiday on Monday so I’m a day behind in my head!
You surpassed yourself and so did the Tigridias! Hope you had a lovely birthday.
Stunning flowers! great pics..my eyes are still dicky so I can’t tell which are phone or camera…and I have a DS3100 bwahahahhahh 😉 hugs and belated happy birthdays to yee Fozziemum xx
Ooh, Fancy-Pants Camera Buddies!
Bwaahahaah yep….and the sniper sized lens I recently got makes it weigh a ton..it looks so small now hahahahaah 🙂
Those are beautiful. And happy birthday!
Happy belated birthday bugger lugs!! I’m thinking it’s the pic with your toes in the shot, but to be honest they are all good lol I’ve got a Nikon D40 which I think is the older version of yours 🙂
Thank you – but no, I took that with the phone. There’s a whole day’s worth of fancy pants ones! Oh well, I guess no one wants seeds.
Not being able to get the right answer is not not wanting seeds, if you catch my drift! lol
Well, I think only yourself and Fozziemum even tried! I’d be happy to send you some if you want them – on to four weeks now and even I’m tired of taking their pictures every damn day.
Lol! No point sending them to me, I’m a plant killer. The lady who had the office I have just taken over took her plants with her, and believe me they were already in a sorry state lol
Aww. Oh well. Know anyone who might love them properly?
Mr work colleague might actually, I’ll ask her Wednesday because I am on a course tomorrow ffs! lol
