Giant Sunflowers in a Can

March 7, 2012 | Filed Under Cell phone photos, Flowers, Sunflowers | 34 Comments 

I liked this display in front of a flower shop and moved closer to inspect.

 

How interesting — flower seeds.  Different flower seeds.

 

My favorite — Sunflowers!!!    Giant sunflowers?  Even better! 

If only I had a place to plant those seeds, I’d buy them in a heartbeat.

$9.99 for my own giant sunflower seeds is a good deal, I would think.

I’d throw the seeds out into the ground and hope the grow really tall —

just like Jack and the Beanstalk.

Two Nuns

December 18, 2011 | Filed Under Chelsea, Flowers, New Yorkers | 8 Comments 

 Walking with Elizabeth the other day in Chelsea, we spotted these nuns heading our way.  The wrapped flowers they carried looked as big as them, if not bigger.  When they reached us, we spoke to them.  One of the nuns told us that the flowers were for decoration for a special celebration they were having.  She told us the name of the celebration, but I don’t remember.   As Nun #1 continued to converse with us, Nun #2 must have been tired or bored because she took off and walked away.  Nun #1 finally said goodbye to us and sprinted after her sister.   I guess it’s a good thing she was wearing her sneakers.   I noticed that she caught up with Nun #2 with no problem.  Perhaps, I should look for the same kind of sneakers for myself.

Soon, these brilliant flowers will be no more; but for the moment there are still around.
