Beautiful shot Ferdy!
I would love to know where the notion, that flowers aren't for men, came from. They're colorful, beautiful and probably more varied in their species and abilities than the animal kingdom.
Besides, the plant world even has its fair share of carnivores!
This man votes flowers in.... right in with lions and tigers and bears, oh my! :) Posted 14 years ago

  I don't know where it came from, and I certainly don't agree with it. They definitely cheer me up and their variety and usefulness is indeed not to be questioned. Posted 14 years ago

I just saw Montse's capture of this magnificent flower and was naturally brought to yours! This might be a good addition to your "epic names" list, Ferdy. :) Posted 11 years ago
