Mastodon•ART 🎨 Curator
@Curator@mastodon.art  ·  activity timestamp 3 weeks ago

Let's have a little collaborative artistic fun :)

Go and find the nearest (real) flower to you, even if that means going for a little walk, and take a photo of it. Post it here in the replies.

Others: look through the replies, find a flower you like, and draw/paint/sketch/etc. it.

Here's one from me to kick it off - this is a love-in-the-mist flower from the wild flower patch in our garden meowybara

#Florespondence#BloomScrolling

A white flower against a green leafy background. The flower has loads of delicate white pointed petals arranged around a central column of green stamen, some pointing straight upwards, some bending outwards. The white petals turn purple right at the very middle of the flower. The flower's leaves are long, thin, spindly things that extend from beneath the flower forming a kind of snowflake shape beneath it.

@Curator A little late to the party but here’s my small contribution. I do not know what they are, but they’re pretty!

#florespondence

A color photograph of another flower, actually it’s many small glowers on a long stalk, also purple but more lilac color I guess. The other one is more periwinkle color, more blue.

Zinnia wears a Poppy dress
portrait format of a pale pink zinnia (lots of stacked petals) with yellow disk florets around dark pink anthers in the centre. At the base of the flower a deep red poppy leans tight against the stem looking like a flamenco dancers dress all rushed. Some more red poppy at the bottom left, green foliage out of focus behind.

@Curator I decided to use my if-primary-phone-is-broken phone's camera that takes 128x160 pixel images. I created a montage of all the photos I took a few minutes ago so the picture is a bit bigger.
I would be grateful for any suggestions to improve my alt text!

From left to right, top to bottom: a pink-reddish flower, a light lavender flower with a bumblebee feeding from it, a still-closed flower bud, a bright orange flower, a pinkish flower consisting of many little pink flowers, a yellow flower with an insect on it, a white flower with a wall behind it, a lavender and pink flower, a flower with white petals and a yellow center, a pale blue flower, a pink flower, a crude drawing of the seedling I have in my home
