Flowers are like a world to me, really! They are!!!
I absolutely get attracted to them, wherever they are…here, there and everywhere! Spread across all horizons…vivid, vibrant, fascinating and truly enchanting!

Mother Nature's own Bouquet, for the entire mankind, in the most fascinating way!

The Magnificent Bouquet 💐

These wonderful #flowers are nature’s most enthralling rhyme, beautifully written with vivid & vibrant colors with such wonderfully delicate fragrances & aromas, to please one and all. For sure! 100%!

I just get swayed away! Lol Yeah! Definitely the magic of these Gorgeous flowers!!!

I am pretty sure, as a child, I always had that desperate urge to pluck them and run away with them, holding them in my hand and secretly sit somewhere and admire n adore its wonderful beauty!
I have done it couple of times, I won’t deny that!...but as a child! Yes! I do have some wonderful memories about that…activity! Those were the days of sheer innocence!

I can bet, we all must have done that, during our own childhood, at one point of time or multiple times…perhaps doing it still!!! It’s obviously quite natural instinct to “pluck flowers”! Won't mind, if only few would openly accept this, as such! Few forget...few think it to be unnecessary to remember such acts and rest won't mind doing it, irrespective of age.

The Phlox drummondii

However, while I was growing up… I was taught altogether a different lesson!
Wasn't that naughty...but more kind of fascinated towards them!
It was a bit hard for me to totally adhere it to! Being what I liked and loved the most…magnificent flowers!

I was taught not to pluck flowers and enjoy them in their natural realm! and I said!??? What... Really!!! It definitely wasn’t an easy lesson!

Here is a short heart touching story that you all will definitely love to read (created & written by me):

A Gorgeous Flower!

Little Boy: Hello!... Gorgeous flower!

Flower: Hey! Little Boi…Hello! How are you!?

Little Boy: I am fine and I have come here, just to say “I Love You! You are so beautiful! :)

Flower: Ahhhhhaaaaa…Thank you! You are so cute! I too love you…Little Boi!

Little Boy: Hey! You Beautiful flower…I wanna tell you a secret!!! I have come here…to pluck you and take you alongwith!...

Flower: Hmmm…I know that!!! Am glad you shared your sweet secret with me! Let me share something with you as well. I am born here…live here…under the sun…with Mother Nature! This is my real home. If you pluck me and take me alongwith, I will die…soon! Though, plucking me and taking me alongwith, might give you happiness for a little while, but, instead if you come here…daily/regularly, I might be able to laugh, giggle and smile with you for a little longer. In my natural realm, that I really…really love, being here!

Flower: So…I leave it you to decide! I will definitely abide by your decision.

(Silence…wind blowing…cool breeze! The sound! felt…believed!)

(Silence…longer than expected!)

Flower: So…have you made a decision!!!???

(Still there is silence...!)

Little Boy: Ummm…Hmmm…!!! Hey Flower! I have decided…decided not to pluck you! I was totally unaware and thought about my happiness…first!!! I won’t pluck you ever! Now, I know, you too love your natural realm. Being here gives you real happiness. From now onwards, I will come here and be with you…everyday! and…and…I LOVE YOU!

Flower: I love you! too ! Infact…I love you so much! You cute little munchkin! So!...See you tomorrow!!!

Little Boy: Oh! Sure!, See you tomorrow! Love ya! Bye for now !!!

The Vivid & Vibrant Phlox

I am in unconditional love with them…perhaps that’s why, I felt I have the right to do anything…pluck them and consider them to be mine! Forever! Without thinking that they too deserve to be in their natural realm, by all means. Though pretty short-lived, they too have right to be in their natural realm, live fully under the umbrella of Mother #Nature

The Garden Phlox

Sweet Memories...

I still remember, I had plucked a Red Rose and had kept it in one of my books for long…really long time…rather year’s altogether! It was like a fantasy to keep it, hold it for that long! Years later it just crumbled and disintegrated. Eventually, I dug up a hole In my #garden and put it to rest, with heavy heart! Ohhh…such a moment it was!
As a child, we all have done some weird things, some we remember forever... and some fade away with the passage of time.

The Phlox Blooming & Blossoming

Thoughts change…times change…people change!

It’s pretty obvious. Selling cut flowers is a big time business, these days! Some of them cost a fortune. Parties, weddings, functions, welcoming, all sort of celebrations, birthdays and what not…everyone wants flowers to be there…an integral part of the event.
They are all cut and decorated to be left ignored after a short while! They moment function is over…their value, charm and importance…it’s all lost within few hours! Left to die…crumbled…smashed…crushed under! This really aches my heart! Alas !

Honestly...to me, they are infact… not just flora, they are absolutely pure eternal joy, amazing messengers of fascinating beauty, and true symbols of awesome life's fleeting, preciously exquisite moments worth cherishing, forever! & ever !!!

Every single super silky, velvety petal silently whispers tales of sheer resilience, marvelous growth of a great show, peace & harmony as they beautifully sway super graciously, charmingly and eloquently under the sun's golden embrace most attractively and/or stunningly dance to the rhythm of the rain gods.

Ohhh… what a serene moment to cherish and enjoy!

Consolida ajacis aka Delphinium aka Larkspur aka Knight's spur

I very strongly believe and you all will definitely agree with me on this, that these marvelous flowers truly belong in their natural realm, blossoming…blooming…flourishing… in either big or small sanctuaries of captivating meadows, all the gardens, and wild wild #landscapes… where they can beautifully bloom & blossom unbound, year-round. Let them enjoy their short-lived freedom.

Sadly enough, cutting them into attractive bouquets, garlands, for any or every event/function… though, considered a common gesture of admiration…appreciation…& respect or esteem, it definitely feels like silencing & quieting their stories mid-sentence. It hurts!!! No matter how abundant they are! Still…!!!

Glebionis coronaria aka Crown Daisy

If you ask me...

Their true charm and sheer magic lies not in fancy, costly glass or porcelain vases but in their unrestricted freedom, where their vivid and vibrant hues and super soft velvety petals create magnificent landscapes of breathtaking wonder, like a fantasy world. That is indeed truly breathtaking!

It would be really great to imagine a wonderful floral world where people from all over the world, flock to their glorious gardens and gorgeous fields, for not to take these stunning…splendid…spectacular and fabulous flowers away, but to deeply…intensely and profoundly immerse themselves, in their radiant and ecstatic glory. Trust me, mankind has that ability!

Walking alone... or in the company of your loved one/s, amidst a wonderful field of blooming n blossoming all kind of gorgeous flowers, feels so very…otherworldly. Indeed a remarkable symphony of such vivacious colours aromas & fragrances arranged by Mother Nature... just to please you! & manage to run the floral ecosystem... it the most brilliant manner.

The Garden Rose🌹 & The Honey Bee🐝

Nevertheless, it’s in these "wonderful & mystical", utterly surreal moments that one can connect deeply with Mother Earth in the superb manner, really feeling proud and unquestionably encouraged, inspired & motivated by the unmatched artistry & creativity of Mother Nature. Value it to the maximum!

I literally feel like saying…”Let us all (mankind) sincerely preserve and protect this ultimate sign of beauty, gratifyingly valuing and treasuring flowers… as they are… meant to be!!! “free & unrestricted”, “flourishing & booming”, and definitely “full of life”.
This will be real love, affection, admiration and acknowledging them as such!!! And by doing it so, we truly value, respect and honor not just their most remarkable and astonishing existence but the real essence and true spirit of the natural world that outstandingly nurtures them in the most gentle way.

Coreopsis basalis aka Goldenmane tickseed with Phlox

Come! Let’s enjoy…Nature’s own spectacular and exquisite bouquet that is super delightful and fabulously exotic.

Hope you liked the captures and enjoyed watching them.

Thank you,
