Nature can be so inviting and colorful. The beauty of flowers give color to world.
Through time flowers have been used in ceremonies, to make herbal tea's, medicines, grass skirts, wigs and other amazing applications.
Florida has a sub tropical climate with the Gold Coast and the Keys having a tropical climate. The perfect weather for many species of flowers to grow and thrive here. Something is always in bloom year round.
I never gave much thought to the name of flowers until Kim and I started a photography web site. With each photo there is an area to describe that photo. We know the name of some flowers and unable to give a proper description of other flowers. What a task. Together we are learning the names of flowers and having to do a lot of homework. Some flowers we have no idea what they are except it is a pretty yellow or purple flower...LOL
In our enthusiasm to not only take photo's, we are just as enthusiastic to learn and better describe the flowers we see on our nature walks and places we go.
I am thrilled that enthusiasm led David Miller to contact Kim and I at Creative Images by Jaxs and Kim.
David is an award winning teacher from Glasgow Scotland. He has an idea to use twitter as a teaching tool for his students. To learn about flowers from around the world. Kim and I love the idea and thank David for the honor of being invited to participate in his teaching endeavor.
