Beauty

in #colorchallenge9 years ago (edited)

In my color challenges I like to use items that we can easily find in our homes. I mostly gravitate towards foods, most preferably fruits and vegetables in an effort to encourage healthy eating.

I find food colors to be naturally beautiful especially raw foods. In our home we consume a lot of green smoothies so in the resent past I used most of those greens for the color challenge.

We do cook a variety of green vegetables and use herbs of which have been used for pics as well.

Today I will not use a food item but will use commonly found flowers that make wonderful flower arrangements in a home. Orchirds are so beautiful that you only need a couple brunches.

They are normally bought as plants and sold in flower pots. As they grow they blossom and make wonderful flowers for display in any room. I hope you will enjoy.

I like to buy my flowers when some petals haven't blossomed yet, the buds give the flower arrangement a beautiful green color and when they blossom they give the arrangement a fresh flower look

These are really beautiful flowers - great pictures. Here they are rather expensive as well, but you pay for quality.

@aidanblue yes they are expensive but the beauty is well worth it. When I do buy, I go to the hardware stores like homedeport or lowes and buy the plant which blossoms over time.
I have seen some really good quality artificial ones at home goods stores but they are not as good as the real plants. I wish I had a green house full of them :)
