Irresistible Flowers

Flowers can be irresistible to many of us.


Some may be attracted to the fragrance.


Blogging from Bolivia
Some may just love the texture and taste.


Some develop a symbiotic relationship with the flower.
One offers food source, the other offers protection.


Some derive their energy from nectar and bring home pollen for the little ones.


Some play 'hide and eat' but obligingly smile and wave to the photographer.


Others know that flowers are to be admired from a distance...hopefully.


I have borrowed some stunning images for these collages from a flower delivery
website.
Wouldn't you agree that flowers can be irresistible?



I especially love these gorgeous bouquets of orchids.
Why?
 Because they come with roots!

Hmmm....Why not get a bouquet on Fathers Day?

Father gets his gift while Mother enjoys the gift.
The puppies can of course appreciate the fragrance and admire from a distance.

  1. Hopefully when puppies poke their noses in flowers there are none of the other flower loving creatures there already.

  19. I can just see the puppy's tail and back end waving! Fabulous!
    And while I'm not fond of insects, your macros are irresistible, especially the green bug smiling for the camera.
    Would that be Mama Dog in the last photo? My dog knows what things she isn't supposed to touch, but she'll stare at them longingly, just like that, hoping I'll change my mind.
