You Can Learn From Flowers

Here's some burgeoning plants in my garden. I love combining objects or rocks or my ceramic artwork into the garden.
But truly nothing compares to the bloom itself. I mean, look at them! They are amazing.
Tne aroma of these lilies just about knocks me out. When I am quiet and still enough, I can spend time just staring at them and I feel like I am learning something.
Not verbal. But learning just the same.

Those lilies are beautiful. They are my favourite flowers, but I don't grow them or even buy them anymore since I found out that they are highly poisonous for cats. So now I make do with sunflowers and orchids.

Absolutely beautiful. I am liking what I see of your garden. Wish I had the talent, inclination and green thumb to get it to look like that.

I'm lucky in that I have a couple of manure producers nearby. (my horses) who provide the garden with all kinds of nutrients.
I have also gone down to the ocean and picked up seaweed to spread on the vegetable patch.

Oh I am crazy about pink liliies those and any kind of rose. I have several old paintings with those lilies in them actually.

Red, I had no idea they are dangerous to cats, I know cats sure like to bop the pollen and dusty stuff around. oops. duly noted.

Oh good old seaweed as a fertilizer, nice!

Stargazers, right??? Gorgeous!!!!!

Yeah, Stargazers....and I didn't know about the cat thing either. Just to note, I love and have always had lilies and lots of cats. Maybe having over 3 acres for the cats to roam has lessened the chance of them being too curious about the lilies.

I was just reading in Tolle's A New Earth about the quality of flowers connecting us with true beauty, and I love that. I love flowers too, and these are so lovely. Wish I could smell the lilies! They are so heady.

Oh Yeah, Ruth, they represent transformation....what us humans are up to right now..."The flowering of human consciousness"
Going from a plant with leaves and stems to an incredible bloom that is completely different from the rest of the plant...but totally natural and expected just the same.
