Bloom Again? I think so!

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 28 January 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I am confident even as sad as they look right now that come spring/summer they will bloom again with beautiful purple and pink flowers...let's hope I'm right ; )

You have captured a dramatic sadness, Jen. But there is still a natural beauty.

This is incredibly sad, but I agree, they will definitely bloom. Beautiful capture of the temporary death of these blossoms.

@e.: Thank you

Anne from White Rock, Canada

Love the monochromatic color effect! Even though they are sad, it has made a lovely photograph. :-)

PS. Don't you think better blooms grow the next year when you cut the old flowers off!!??

@Anne: Thank you Anne...wonderful to hear from you again!
It's on my list to trim them back...they are way too tall anyway. A project for one weekend very soon!!

Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States

Love the values you've used here! Hey, is that a new camera? Just gotta love them Sonys! :0)

@Craiger: Thank Craig!
Yes I finally got myself a DSLR!!! YAY!!!
I do love the Sony, much to learn about it, but I am enjoying it tremendously!!!

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Spring will definitely have a restorative effect on these and other plants. Even here in Paradise.

@Viewfinder: I just hope mother nature is kinder this year with rainfall! : )

Dawn Sutherland from Phoenix, United States

Great shot and I am happy you have a new "toy" to enjoy. Watch out photography is an addiction, only our spouses understand how bad it gets.

@Dawn Sutherland: Too late...already addicted! ; )
Thanks Dawn...lots to learn, but I am having fun doing it!

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

Excellent my dahling girl!!! That dof brings just the right amount of background up... not too much to be distracting but enough to give some depth. Really love these brown/gold hues. And just to make you feel good about your weather.... it is -33C right now with a wind chill that makes it -47C!! When I left my house this morning the snow from our roof decided I was a good target so I pretty much looked like a snowman AND I got stuck in a hard packed snow drift in my office's "parking lot"... and this is why I'm allergic to Monday's!!! LOL

@amy: Your luck with snow lately is just BAD!!! You poor thing!
I hope the rest of your week gets better!!
Thank you Dahling...can't wait till they come back to life in the spring!

I think that they will flower again. Its already started over here, and early spring flowers are out here and there.

Lost Valley Views from Great White North, Canada

Fantastic macro Jen! I like the deep rich dark color on the seed pod. I think it might bloom again-fingers crossed for you.

Thanks so much for stopping by, it's great to hear from you!

You're right... but what they left when the blooms died you've represented very well.
