i like this photo even though the flowers are a bit washed out.
but --
do you remember how i posted a photo of yellow gerbera daisies two sundays ago? well, these are the same flowers. i took those photos on the 24th of february and i took this photo on the 5th of march. on sunday, i had to throw out all but two of the flowers but those two are looking as lovely and alive as ever.
either gerbera daisies are growing hardier and hardier, or there is some seriously positive flower energy in my house.
often flowers will last longer than we realize ...and there is probably ALOT of energy too!!

I vote for the positive flower energy!! BTW, I do love Joshua Tree, have been there several times, but never in the spring. Would be fabulous, I bet, but it has to be a year with a lot of rainfall.

They're beautiful! Maybe they know your word for 2010 is joy, so tried extra hard to remain your reminder for as long as they could!
Thanks for your comment on my blog; you're the first! My real life cats won't sit still for long enough, but my metaphorical Kitten likes settling in my lap. ^_^
Take Care,
Rose

@chrissy: maybe they are hardier in oregon?! ;)
@josiane: awww, thanks
@jen t: yes!
@rose: i realized right after i posted the comment that it was your metaphorical kitten that you were referring to, but it was too late. ;)
@patty: you mean like this year?
@margie: oh, i love long-lasting tulips. they do seem rather hardy for flowers in general.
@elk: and i love when they do!

I think the composure and colour really make this image a winner. I like it too :)
