Flowers

solo1 · 07-02-2006, 06:51 AM

The threads on this board recently have been of such a sordid nature that I decided to provide an antidote.

I like flowers. Yeah, gay, whatever, they're lovely. The other day I was walking past some houses and this gorgeous fuschia just popped outside the wall. The flowers are usually red and purple and pink, and hang down.

I also like magnolia bushes. They're out of season at the moment, but they're weird in that they flower before the leaves come out, which produces a nice effect. Kinda like this:

What's wrong with it? Looks like fuschias to me. Not my favourite flowers though. I'll post some pics later.
Orchids are sexy.

I have a magnolia tree in my front yard. Bush. Whatever it is. It's the second one Solo posted. They flower and then just fall to the ground and I have to rake them up. I hate it. But right now there are just leaves, and they are nice to me.

kicki · 07-02-2006, 07:52 AM

hmm I only get a blue sign and I have to type the address myself to get there.

edit: and when I do that I still don't get to the picture. "error 404 not found bla bla bla"

edit 2:

When I clicked on the first link, there was a message saying that I was stealing an image from some site. Whatever.

So I changed it.

Apparently the good people of California State University are less paranoid about people looking at their fuschias.

Thanks for the heads-up, Kicki.

orchid is the name of an opeth album. therefore, they rule. also, theyre in adaptation.

magnolias look nice.

i never smelled any flowers and i dont notice them ever.

Orchid was also in Killer Instinct. C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

Bunnies like orchids.

You like flowers Solo that's o.k. I like the great outdoors. The only thing I look at are the trees. Some them look really cool. There are different shapes and sizes and different types of trees. I enjoy just taking a hike and enjoying being surrounded by nature.

Nothing wrong with liking flowers, in fact I used to grow roses, and impatients when I was in high school, I still would now, but school and work keep me too busy.

I need a garden.

That looks like it belongs in Alice in Wonderland.

Keri · 07-03-2006, 07:30 AM

Hmm. Kicki's drawing of an orchid reminds me of something else.

I love flowers though. I have loads of sweetpeas in my garden at the moment which smell gorgeous.

kicki · 07-03-2006, 10:16 AM

I wish I had more flowers in my room, but I'm so bad with plants. It's better not having than having for a couple of weeks just to forget to water them and let them die.

JenniferNoble · 07-04-2006, 04:07 AM

hmm flowers are okay. they're pretty. i like daffodils, they are the cutest and happiest flowers ever

kicki · 07-04-2006, 06:48 AM
