Flowers; Anthurium

Silently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
The world of the flower,
the whole of the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower,
the truth of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully shining here.

- Zenkei Shibayama..

Someone kindly asked me in a comment where I bought my flowers. I used to go to the market to buy them, but since I started taking pictures of flowers I get them for present from people. I haven't been to the market in weeks hihi. It is so lovely that everybody is so supporting and brings me flowers.Two days ago my mother brought me this beautiful green coloured Anthurium. Although she doesn't have a computer and can't see the pictures she knows how much I enjoy photographing them. To me a gift like that is truly from the heart.... :) Every time my mother, sister or Toek see a beautiful flower they bring it home to me.
To me it is so lovely to make a still life of flowers which are brought to me with so much love. I hope it shows in the pictures, because I always have a very lovely and warm feeling while photographing them. And it would be beautiful to share that feeling with you :))
Today I am going to visit my mother and she has already told me that she discovered two new flowers in her garden for me. You will see them too in a short while my friends, take care ;)

It is at the edge of a petal that love waits.
