    Pretty Flowers

    Aren't flowers just beautiful? I am always amazed at how nature never runs out of creative ways to demonstrate its limitless beauty.

    I was meditating on the goodness of life this morning and on the limitless capacity for love and power in the human spirit, when I came across this remarkable image of Peonies. So pretty. So crisp. So light and magnificent.

    I pose this question to my fellow DBR friends: What types of flowers do you love the most? What types of flowers do you find to be the prettiest?

    Have a most splendid day!

    Biscuit flour is the prettiest when it is properly mixed with buttermilk and shortening, then baked. But Stargazer Lilies run a close second. The are really pretty, last a long time, and have a magnificent scent that permeates through the whole house.

    Personally, I like poppies. I use them to make heroin.

    I love pink carnations and baby's breath.

    Though like allenmurray I too enjoy the scent stargazer lilies give off. Nothing like walking into a room filled with the fragrance of a stargazer lily.

    I like baby's breath, too - except when they've been smoking!

    I've always liked pansies - and they're so hardy!

    I love pansies. One of my favorite paintings, titled "Velvet Faces" is by Lexington, NC's Bob Timberlake.

    Am I the only person who doesn't care for flowers? Plus, I hate butterflies, and flowers tend to attract butterflies.

    You gotta like this flower:

    It is the largest flower in the world, smells like dead rotting decaying flesh and attracts flies - not butterflys.

    I've heard about this flower. Have you ever smelled it? I haven't, nor do I want to.

    yea, I smelled one once. And then I made the wrong comment. I told my wife, hey, that reminds me of your perfume. The last time I saw her.

    Were you not the one that started the "I hate music" thread a few days ago? Oh, or was that Indoor66? Apologies if I'm mistaken. I've been working on an by-lined article espousing the many benefits of multiple safety procedures in food processing (namely corn dogs) facility construction/renovation and well, let's just say writing about corn dog safety takes a lot of concentration.

    Ouch!

    The flower sort of looks like a French ostrich jumped out of a balloon from 140,000 feet and went head first into the ground.
