Tiny But Not Small

This cute purple ball flower makes me act like a kid!
So adorable!
The flower I mean.
Pas moi...

~The Big Ball Alliums~
It's also called as 'big ball onions', best known as 'ornamental onions'..?
Take a closer look!
It's formed by so many tiny little flowers!!!

Allium 'Lucy Ball' is her name, if not mistaken.
Amazing, non?
You sees nothing if there is only one tiny little fleur.
But together in a spherical heads of bloom, it makes a huge different.

Somehow, it makes me have a thought...
That, one might not have much strength to do much...
But together, we can change the world.
Hold on, what's in your mind?

Just thinking that...
If each and everyone of us care to put a little effort...
In giving more love to our Mother Earth.
That would be a sweet & wonderful thing!

Tulips

I still could recall the first Tulip I received...
Was from a dear friend of mine.
A cut flower, yeah...
Watching it die slowly day after day...
It's saddening and depressing.
Because...
There is nothing you could do at all to change the situation.

And today, here I am...
Standing in this grand garden.
Watching colorful Tulips.
Indeed, I feel more than alive.
Delightful.
Just like them...

Color symbolism?
Red - love, passion, energy, desire, strength...
Yellow - Joy, happiness, optimism, hope, imagination...
Orange - Enthusiasm, vibrant, flamboyant, demanding of attention...
Purple - Mysterious, arrogance, wisdom, spirituality...
How accurate?

And Tulip symbolized...
Declaration of love.
Love in many way...
From family, friends, lovers...
Do you love Tulips?
Yes, I do.

Beautiful huh?
Makes you wanna dance with them in the garden.
Still, no one can change the life cycle.
She does not has an eternity life span.
She will ended up like the cut flower eventually.
That is the reason some people will suffer Spring Fever?

Learn to appreciate should be our daily practice.

La banane

Pourquoi la banane?
Je ne sais pas.

I was wondering why wearing a banana costume in a flower exhibition.
Maybe the color is sharp and bright..
And it cheers people up?

Or maybe it is just because...
It burst energy!
For there will be lots of walking in this grand park with limited snack bars?

Anyhow,
I surfed a bit and found out this link:

Maybe we should consider changing the old quote that goes:
"An apple a day, keeps the doctor away"
to..."A banana a day, keeps you healthy at all time"
