Teardrop On A Tulip

I spotted this tulip, which was not as beautiful as most of the other tulips around it....but with a droplet on its edge. And I thought this adds to its unique beauty.

You can see the little flowers here, there and everywhere...... in the flower bed, on the drawing paper, and interestingly, in the little girl's hair :-)

This young student artist has almost finished her drawing and it is interesting to observe how she perceives the flowers on her drawing paper (versus the real flowers), for the students drawing competition at The Hong Kong Flower Show 2012.

Aren't these tulips gorgeous under the sun? Fresh from Holland....each one of these looks so unique....yet so beautiful in their own way!

The tulip is undoubtedly one of the most popular flowers at the Hong Kong Flower Show 2012.

I love this beautiful, yet very simple, arrangement of Calla Lilies馬蹄蘭created by one of the floral artists at Hong Kong Flower Show 2012

Grape Hyacinth (Muscari) at Hong Kong Flower Show 2012

I find the blue and green colors complement each other very well and are quite pleasant to the eyes :-)

Change Is The Only Constant

There is a big booth for South Africa at Hong Kong Flower Show 2012. This gorgeous Protea is their national flower and is flown in directly from South Africa.

According to Wikipedia, the genus Protea was named in 1735 by Carl Linnaeus after the Greek god Proteus, who could change his form at will, because proteas have such a wide variety of forms. This is what contributes to the caption of this photo :-)

I Started A Joke...

"...Til I finally died, which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me..."

Extract of lyrics from the captioned beautiful song by Robin Gibb (Bee Gees). He and his music will be missed!

This is one of the many students working seriously on her drawing for the competition at the Hong Kong Flower Show 2012. Obviously she is attracted by the golden colors of the bed full of tulips......and I think she's got a good vantage point :-)

Hyacinth風信子is the Theme Flower of Hong Kong Flower Show 2012.

This is a rather common flower and some people may not be terribly enthusiastic about it as compared with some of the more popular species like tulips, for instance. But I believe one can uncover its beauty in many different ways. This photo shows one way in which I perceive its beauty, and I hope you like it!

The tulip is undoubtedly one of the most popular flowers at Hong Kong Flower Show 2012. The carpet of these colorful tulips makes a even more beautiful sight.

Something different from previous uploads......

This is one of the many young students focusing on her work for the students painting competition at the Hong Kong Flower Show 2012. I like her pose and concentration..........so cool....... almost like a real professional artist :-)

I find this African Marigold 萬壽菊 (Tagetes Erecta) particularly appealing, with its amazing layers and bursting colors which are somewhat out of the ordinary, at the Hong Kong Flower Show 2012.

原來看似平凡的萬壽菊亦可以如此精采呢！

Hyacinth風信子is the Theme Flower of Hong Kong Flower Show 2012.

This photo shows one way in which I perceive its beauty, particularly with its glow under natural light (actually cloudy that morning:-), and its being a little messy (thus the name restless). I hope you like it!

雖然風信子是今年花展的主題花，但比較少它的照片放上網。其實我覺得它是非常優美呢。
