The Last Days at Home: Mom’s Garden – Mardi Gras & Co.

Welcome to http://www.frozenropephotography.com In my last post I showcased the stunning Blue Green Hydrangea I was privileged enough to see growing in my mother’s garden. I know from experience in the flower market that Hydrangea can be very expensive especially uniquely colored varieties. In this post I show case some more of the flowers in my mother’s collection in her garden.LilacsHere’s another amazing flower I didn’t realize I was privileged to see growing naturally in mom’s garden.Purple Lilacs on SlantThis shot reminds me of Michael Jackson’s innovative “lean” forward move. These babies are all on slant.The Pink RoseThe glory of it’s perfect imperfection. This could be “the rose that grew from concrete” Tupac spoke about in his poetry.
