As promised, it's all about my hubby's purple love of the sunflower this morning!! That's why my post is a little late too. He had to have the right lighting in order to take these "BIG" pictures...Smirking?...me?! Not at all!! I think they really are some good shots. So what if they're not as big as 'some other people's sunflowers!
People who shall remain nameless :-)) I'm going to stop talking now, and just show you his "other" love.
The sunflower!...This is one of the plants that has more than one flower on it. He calls them "the twins".
And yes, that's a pair of his new shoes on his feet. I guess that was in there so that you could know for sure that these really are "his" sunflowers!! :-) ... It's amazing to me that they start out looking like this...
..and then these pop out of that little bud! Ummmm...did I say "little"?! Sorry honey. ^_^
Here are the rest of his shots.
I joke around with him about how excited he gets about his flowers, but actually I think they're pretty terrific myself! What do you want...we have no kids!!!
By the way, I have another purple treasure to show you!
This Etsy Treasury is entitled "
Purplicious". The curator of this treasury,
ChickadeeLane, was gracious enough to put my
Grape Angel Hair Button Flower Brooch in her new treasury.
Follow the link over there and check out all of the other shops!!
Okay, I'm off to find me some breakfast, talk to some other folks, and, of course, watch some tennis! Today is the Men's Semi-finals at the U.S. Open!! That's pretty much going to consume my attention this weekend. What are you doing for the weekend?!
Color Is
Auburn is the setting sun.
Blue is a mood.
Black is the night sky.

Stunning colour!!! Thank you, Mr. Wug, for showing us! ;)
ReplyDeleteMrs. Wug, congrats on the treasury!
This Little Fox has to work this weekend but she doesn't mind, because there is money in the end and the end is already this Monday! LOL
Weezi.com, Thank you for the nice words! I think they're stunning too!...By the way, believe it or not, he bought the seeds for these sunflowers in the garden section at K-Mart!! He said he saw the picture on the package and thought it was worth taking the chance to see if they actually would grow and be that color, and....BAM!!! They're gorgeous! Now he says he's going back to K-Mart and get the multi-colored ones he saw!...Next year's crop!! :-))
ReplyDeleteMariann Rea, Mr. Wug smiled a "BIG" smile when he saw your comment!...I'm smiling too, in thanks for the nice comment about the treasury my "Little" brooch is in!! Thank you! :-))
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome but oooh aaah what do the purple flower seeds cost? :D Maybe you can send them to me too :D:D Our garden in the country doesn't really want to grow them but we have had some over the years.
ReplyDeleteMariann Rea, Guess what?! He paid somewhere between 99 cents and $1.50 for them. That's all!! And if you like, he says he'll send you a package of them!! Just send me your address to the email! If they grow, I'd love to get pictures to blog about!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOmg are you serious??! :D That would be awesome! I'll convo you in etsy ;)
