Lori, what a very special fun website. While holding the mouse down, depending on how you move it, one can draw all kinds of pictures and shapes with the flowers. Thank you for posting it.

Lori,
What fun designing these pictures with flowers! I like how many different types of flowers there are in one drawing and how you can make all sorts of colorful patterns.

Thank you so much for sharing this unusual web site. I have to wonder who came up with the idea.

Jude, & Juliana: You're quite welcome. I'm grateful to share!

Joe: Your pics of Flinders' Ranges are quite outstanding!! I have to ask, though: While most times flowers with extremely vibrant colors have less scent and paler coloring usually equates to stronger scent (this is biology at work: vibrant/bright colored flowers are using sight to attract pollenators while less colorful blossoms use scent, generally) I get the feeling that these blossoms are fragrant, if mildly (I have no idea why, but I immediately imagined a soft scent on the air as I looked at the pics). Do Sturt's Desert Pea have a noticeable scent?

Thankful one & My Sweet Hildy: Those pics of Death Valley are meditation worthy!!! A huge THANKS to the both of you. I can hear the mantra chant now: "Even Death Valley Blossoms"

Today's contributions are of rare/exotic blooms

Lady's Slipper Orchid

Gloriosa Lily

Pineaplle Tops

Dear Arow, thank you for adding to this wealth of flowers. "Even death valley blooms!" This was exactly my cousin's in Vienna response, when I sent her one of the pictures! What a wonderful image for this time of the year, when we celebrate the coming to life in many ways.

Arow,
WOW! I just looked at the beautiful flowers you posted. You sure know how to pick some eye catching photos. I am so glad to see these pictures.

What I did is to just slow down and look at your photos for a while. Calm entered my soul that you would share such beauty and because such beauty exists in the world. I don't know how someone could look at the flowers you posted and not believe in God.

I am much gladdened that the photos I shared help you experience gratefulness as I am with every one of the others who also enjoy them.

The lady's slipper is gloriously put together in an exquisitely elegant fashion, yet appears to bowing gently in praise to the God who made her who she is.

The lily is delicately, tentatively and simply offering up itself in a heart shaped pattern.

The pineapple is just peacefully integrating otherwise completely different colors and styles and appears to be glad to be different.

Anyway, I want to send you a big dipper of love for sharing your kind words and your gift of the awesome flowers that helped me relax at the end of a long day. I think it's wonderful you've joined our little gratefulness discussion group.

Lori, Thank you for the fun flower website, which I have only taken the time to play on this morning. It is truly enjoyable.

Arow, Oh for the Gloriosa Lily! Pure beauty. Thank you! (The other two may be pretty, too, but I always have spontaneous favorites

).

Thankful One, Thank you for opening up the night sky, and pointing out the constellation of the "Großer Bär" (can´t find it in the dictionary).
Thank you also for reminding me that I should "slow down and look at the pictures for a while". Usually I am too fast by far!

And now you may have a good laugh - everybody invited to join in:
I was just going to copy your words, sending you "a big dipper of love". But as did not know what exactly this meant and being doubtful as to whether it was appropriate, I checked with my dictionary - and what does it say? "Big Dipper = Großer Bär!" (Silly me-Smiley).

Juliana
