Sometimes I do things together with the artist on artwanted.
Paricia Griffin Brett had put up a picture
and told me all about this kind of anemone,
that dances on the wind.
Her's did not bloom anymore and because
we did not know the name I searched into the internet. Finaly I thought I found them and send half the bulbs to her.
I planted the bulbs with that special name: Anemone Lord Luitenant. When I looked outside this morning the first two of them were dancing on the wind
My garden filled with flowers
is the purple of my heart.
It gives that celebration,
everyday my morning starts.
Ben, this is gorgeous!! Love the color purple, my favorite. By the way, Patricia Griffin Brett is a good friend of mine. Oh, what a small world it is. /She & I live in the same town and keep in touch with each other often.
Artist Reply: Give her my love.She is Always that busy bee ;)
People are more closer than any border in their live.
Splendid colors and details, the petals looks like velvet. Excellent photo Ben !!
Artist Reply: When I had seen them I fell a little in love with them and have been searching through all of Holland to find a seller. I am also not that good photographer, but when I get the time and enough efforts there sure is one between them :)
Nice poem and flower Ben! I have these in my garden also!
Artist Reply: Hi Ironman... good to here from you! It makes my day a bigger feast. Knowing how you care for your garden I could not get a bigger compliment today :)
Ben, you have the heart & soul of a true poet :) Thank you so much & I finally got my bulbs planted, but they aren't as far along as yours yet! This is really beautiful (the poem & the photos). & I found out another surprise....you're a pretty good photographer, too!!!! :D Will write you soon!
Artist Reply: I hope they soon dance on the wind as they do here :)
What a wonderful "floral" friendship story and wonderful pictures Ben !
Artist Reply: I think we have many friends in the world included you Marie-Claire. We all fit in our artistique frame of life. That makes AW somehow special to everybody who wants to express her or himself here. We bring art and flowers... to our friends
Artist Reply: Thank you Kate :) Yes I liked the color too and although it is a special color, there were many others, who did not fit the color I searched for.
