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.
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.
