Bouquet
One of the very best things about the Pike Place Market flower vendors is their complete disregard for typical florist combinations. No one told them that bouquets are not supposed to be made with regular old garden flowers. Since they must sell only what they grow, the combinations that result are not seen anywhere else. Below is a bouquet with a Shirley poppy (I think), lupine or bluebonnet in the back, and Dutch iris.
Visit Macro Monday, Blue Monday, Color Carnival and Mellow Yellow Monday for more of the same idea. And do check out a new tag or category on each visit here, just for fun. Return to the full blog by clicking Sara’s Fave Photos in the header.

Isn’t it wonderful how things of such different individual beauty can come together to make one very beautiful whole?

Thanks for the Pike Place photo. I need to get in there. The flowers are beautiful, especially the poppy in the center.

I’ve visited Pike’s Place Market and had a fish thrown in front of my face. You’re right; the flowers are delightful. Happy Blue Monday.

Blue colour looks very outstanding in photos. What’s the name of the orange flower?
Sara L. Chapman on 08 Jun 2010 at 7:52 am #
That is a Shirley Poppy in the middle there. They grow pretty well around here, too. Thanks to all for dropping by and especially if you took the time to leave a comment. I so appreciate it.

Beautiful color combination indeed but you did an amazing job as a photographer too;
what a perfect poppy macro!
Our flower vendors are very selfish here, they don’t allow to take photos of their flower.
