A Trough of Lilies

Posted on July 29, 2012 by The Wanderlust Gene

I couldn’t resist posting this, a combination of Ailsa’s Travel Theme with this week’s Photo Challenge – a trough of purple water lilies I saw at Gallery Cafe, Colombo, several years ago.

  The hand-hewn stone is such a tactile thing, isn’t it?

  Shame I didn’t answer my outstanding comments instead of partying on posting purple flowers! I’m only now getting to the inbox and I was only away for a couple of days – I don’t know how my schedule got so out of whack!

  I was stunned when I saw them … such profligacy, such artless beauty with the delicacy of the flowers against the rough-hewn stone.

Gorgeous! Love the purple bursting from the earthy looking stone container.

  Yes! And in such profusion.

A lovely purple/flower image – what an interesting place to find lilies!

  Well, The Gallery Cafe is Colombo’s ‘temple of style’ so not so surprising really to see them displayed there in this gorgeous profusion

Wonderful textures.

  Yes – the stone so hard, rough and grainy, the damp, satiny lilies … Thank you David.

Lovely. I’m such a sucker for purple flowers. If I could grow a garden, it’ll be full of them.

  Very magisterial it would be

Oh how lovely, you’re having a field day with flowers this week! xxx

  It was all your fault, Ailsa Then we had ‘growth’ this week, so my blog is full of flowers once again. As it should be

    There’s nothing wrong with that! Bring on the flowers, I say!

      Me too, but there have been a lot of flowers the past ten days.
