Les Flowers...

I am obsessed...there is something deep within me that will always have an infatuation with the smell, sight and soft feel of a flower. Growing up a "Greenhouse" kid, (my dad owned a Greenhouse Business back in Winnipeg...bought it from my Opa in early 70's. Green thumb family) I was surrounded by tropical houseplant, flowering plants, trees, shrubs, cut flowers, soil, sand, patio slabs...all that jazz. Some of my favourite memories are getting a huge shipment of potted Chrysanthemum...oh, the fresh green smell that they give off is amazing. The smell of 100 mums...intense nasal satisfaction! Anyways...I love flowers. I am ALWAYS taking pics of them. Flowers in gardens, on the side of hills, in ditches, under a ferny forest floor, in a vase on the kitchen table...I see them, I photograph them...
