Garden blogger bloom day scans
I couldn’t bear to do another somber ’seeds and twigs’ scan. Needed some color instead. So I went with the African violets and some late-forced bulbs.
I really wasn’t all that excited about the bulb scans. But you can bet that sometime this summer I’ll plop some yellow flowers down on the background.
An alternate take.
As always, thanks for Carol at May Dreams Garden for hosting.

Lovely color. I am feeling that end of winter hunger for color. Happy Valentines day and Bloom day too.
Finally, I tried it Ellis Hollow-style! It was FUN. I can’t wait until I have more flowers to work with.

Do you have a tag or a link I can link to that will have all your scans on one page?

Found it.
Hey Chuck:
It wasn’t there the first time you looked. I was just thinking this last week that I wished I’d started a category for the bloom day scans. Well I broke down tonight and took 15 minutes to create it and flag all those posts. Thanks for nudging me to action. It’s here: http://www.remarc.com/craig/?cat=55
Really enjoyed your scans. I keep telling everyone that it’s like the Asian board game (whose name escapes me now) that has the tagline, A moment to learn, a lifetime to master.
These remind me of sixties style psychodelic graphics, maybe for an album cover or a trendy dutch bulb catalog.
Les: I saw this video posted on GardenRant after I was done. Any resemblence between the scan and this retro-themed talk show set is conincidence:

Hiya Craig,
I was banished outside for my ’scans’. And they are twigs and seeds
Multiplying that Saintpaulia makes it go a long way. They look edible. Daren’t enlarge for fear they will engulf me. Vry striking indeed. I look forward to the red tulip season.
BTW, would you be able to tell me why variegated Pittosporum is winter hardy and the green varieties aren’t? I would have thought it would be the reverse.
Yes, this seems like the time of year we get a little desperate for blooms. I like all those African violets…
One word…well maybe more! Delightful…I want a headboard to lean against while reading myself to sleep of that fantastic purple! gail
WOW, very nice presentation.
OK Gail. I’ll do a calendar of scans next year, and then the following year a line of textiles.
Very cool. Love the green against the periwinkle blue.~~Dee
Stunning
Unique and original. Dreaming of purple and green if I ever get to sleep!
Oooh, abstracts! These are very fun, but I know you long for flowers from the garden.
Wow, that is mind-blowing. Very different from your usual scans.
