Feed me, Seymour!

I know this looks a bit like Audrey 2 from
Little Shop of Horrors, but in fact it's 
a teeny tiny geranium bud that I snapped
with my iPhone (and fun macro lens).

Autumn red

I live a five-minute walk from the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden, but last weekend
I visited the NY Botanical Garden, which is up in
the Bronx.  Considering that it's almost November,
I was a bit surprised at how many different
plants were in bloom—including these beauties.

A beautiful bouquet

This bouquet was in the home of friends I was
visiting over the weekend—wish I could say
that it was from me, because I think the
elements are beautifully put together.

Here's another view.

Hard to miss

This looks like a hibiscus, which I always
thought of as a tropical flower—but I found this
big, bright red bloom right here in Brooklyn.

I'd like a big bunch, please

When I go to our local Saturday greenmarket,
my first stop is the flower sellers, just to see
what they have that week.  Last time I was pleased
to find cosmos and salvia and sunflowers—and
lots of dahlias, including these lush red ones.

Ka-boom!

Doesn't it look like this little
flower just exploded?

Bzzzzzz!

I shoved my little iPhone macro lens
down inside a peony—and this busy bee 
really couldn't have cared less (fortunately).

colorful close-up

I don't know of a lot of flowers
(or maybe no other?) that can combine
three or four colors in one bloom.
This is a pretty little lantana.
