lilies
I just can't take a good picture today. I wanted to show one of my favorite flowers though...casablanca lilies. They are so beautiful and I loooooove how they make the whole house fragrant. Would make a good painting subject, no?
It's too bad cut flowers are so expensive because I would have them around all the time. I remember how easy it was in SF to buy fresh flowers. After work I could just cross a street and there would be a flower vendor. I mainly splurged on roses and I remember riding home on BART and people couldn't help but stare at them. And at work too it was really important to have flowers in our swanky downtown office. Every week all of us assistants would have a vase of flowers delivered to our desk. Usually it was a single stem of something but my favorite was when they would be peonies. The main reception desk would get a really nice arrangement and that would usually be the favorite subject of discussion every Monday. Then every Friday they'd be removed and if the flowers were particularly spectacular people would try to get dibs on who could take it home. Ah! Now I'm reminded of how great my workplace was in SF!
