They don't look ugly to me! No such thing as an ugly flower! :-)

They are just wearing their Cav's colors, to celebrate a rare victory.

Would you buy a bedspread that looked like that?

Looks like blood splatters. I spend way too many sleepless hours watching 'Law & Order'.

My guess is that that plant looks much more enticing in the ultraviolet range which bees & other pollinators can see.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

I agree with YoungHegelian -- bees probably find it to be gorgeous

And here as I climb down the saloon stairs,
Lies a bloodied yellow flower with its fear and doubt.
I pause and say a double prayer,
One for you, and one for you;
And so they cancel out.

Who sprinkled the paprika on the flowers?

Etienne म्हणाले...

...One for you, and one for you;

One for the Democrats, I pray they can revoke the 2nd Amendment.
One for the Republicans, I pray they can bomb Islam back to the stone age.

And so they cancel out.

Not a fan of these Asiatic Tango hybrid lilies, although some are worse than others. This one is probably 'Graffity.'

Jupiter म्हणाले...

I kind of like it. It looks unscripted.
