The cyclamen are so perfect that they look artificial. The most common flowering plant seen in Paris window boxes is the geranium, probably for its hardiness. These shades of pink cyclamen are a delightful contrast to the surrounding scene.

Isn't that the truth.
ReplyDeleteI always love photos that have a splash of colour in an otherwise drab pallette! This is lovely, as is your haiku.
ReplyDeleteSo true! You are one of my bright flowers.
ReplyDeleteThey look like little symbols of gladness and hope. Very sweet, Genie!
ReplyDeleteThree proud pink flowers against the odds!
ReplyDeleteA delightful photograph and sentiment Genie.
ReplyDeleteNice thought Genie. You're right. One act of kindness can change everything!
ReplyDeleteHello Genie:
ReplyDeleteSimple and so very effective with the pink against the grey.
I try, I try! Love this splash of color.
ReplyDeleteThere is a special atmosphere in this photo. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! And I think you practice what you preach, Genie. :~}
ReplyDeleteThat is such a strange contrast between all this Virginia creeper dead and those three little flowers so alive... Nice picture indeed.

Roses among the torns !
ReplyDeleteGenie,
ReplyDeleteI love this capture. The purple flowers are indeed bright and cheery up against the off white finish on the building.
they look a bit lonely...but the picture is fantastique
ReplyDelete(answering your comment on my blog :
ReplyDeleteIs this a polite way to tell me that my English is THAT bad ?! (huge smile)

(Très bien madame la Parisienne d'Alabama : j'écrirais désormais mes commentaires en français pour vous complaire... ;)
ReplyDeleteMoi aussi, j'écris mes commentaires et je lis des blogs en anglais pour le pratiquer aussi souvent que je peux)

What is it about French windows? :) I've never seen a single one that could be considered slightly ordinary. All extraordinary! Love this.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully minimal!
