Violent Tulips

Some manner of exciting and oddly triangular tulip. I just love the colours.

My mother has also informed me that the flower in yesterday's post is known as a "bleeding heart" which seems a rather gruesome name for such an inoffensive flower.

Pink Heart Flower

I have no idea what kind of flower this is. In fact, my knowledge of botany is almost completely non-existent.

I can just about tell a daisy from a rose, but only in good light.

Oddlings & Ends says: Hello, World!

Hello, world!

I suspect this blog will largely be a means of justifying my obsession with photographing flowers and occassional pretty things. Henceforth, when I am standing in a garden taking pictures of the same poppy for ten straight minutes, when everyone else is already longing to seek out the tea room, I will be able to grandly announce: "It's for my blog, you know!"

And everyone will be impressed.
