…I think of flowers.
Yeah, I know, I just got my ass kicked out of the Real Man’s Club, but ask me if I care!
Anyway, flowers float my boat. Blame it on the testosterone, but I find them sensual, even sexual, in a way which I would never admit to a stranger.
Good thing we’re so close, eh?
Ahem.
Lest you doubt my view of the Flower World, I present as evidence these shots of the Amaryllis blooming in our kitchen.
Exhibit A, the red folds of a petal worthy of a kiss:
…Lips beckoning you to come inside:
…deep inside, surrounded by beauty:
This might just be proof that God is a man. Or maybe a lesbian.
Hey, we report, you decide!
There’s more than one bud swelling here tonight…
…and one flower fully open:
These warranted a trip to the textile store for a few yards of black backdrop, which you’ll surely be seeing more of now that I have it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to take a nice cold shower.
The Other “Foliage Season.” April 18, 2010

While tourists flock to The Berkshires to see “the Colors” in September and October, we locals get to enjoy a subtler “foliage season” in the Spring, uncrowded by swivelheads.
The steeple of a church in Shelburne rises above the buds, catkins and nascent leaves of our mixed-hardwood countryside:
This time of year, with its unsettled weather, seems somehow more appropriate to the character of “traditional” New England than the Disney-esque rainbows of Autumn.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

The strangely dispassionate buds of the Northern Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia purpurea:
…and their accompanying pitchers, vascular* and dangerous:
Penile on the outside, vaginal on the inside, with balls:
Isn’t nature wonderful!
* So what’s with the vascular, already? That’s two vasculars in two weeks!!
A hearty thanks to Mary over at Work of thePoet for hosting this Ruby meme.
