Family flowers.


I am not a botanist, or a photographer, I started this in order to share pictures, but it hasn't worked out that way for the moment. Flowers pictures can be boring...and I would like to be a little bit interesting if I can, so I shall just put in a few pictures at a time with an explanation of why I chose them.


This is the alpine eglantine, and I like it because it reminds me of my own little Rosie, who loves to run in the mountains, and who blushes her own shade of pink when she does so. We only saw one example of this on our expeditions so it must be less common that it's lowland relative. The flower is surprisingly small, and the leaves are dark.


This is a Pyrenean aqualegia, or columbine, and it reminds me of Polly, who is definitely a blue flower.


This gorgeous yellow flower reminds me of Raphael, and what is even better is that it has the name Troll of Europe, which suits my youngest just perfectly.
