Laura works at Hart's Greenhouse & Florist in Canterbury. I asked her to show me one of the hundreds of crysanthemums offered for sale this fall, so she picked this one up. This is the way you want to buy same-season mums . . . many tight buds that will burst open later, when the plant is in the ground, but enough open to be appealing right away.
A very colorful portrait.
ReplyDeleteLaura is like a flower among flowers!
ReplyDeleteAnswer to your question : my father(much less known than the general!)
People who work with flowers always look so happy, and Laura is no exception. Lovely portrait Jack.
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait Jack!
ReplyDeleteFantastic plant but, Laura's enthusiastic smile would have me taking something to the check out counter.
ReplyDeleteI love the real-life beauty of this shot.
ReplyDeleteLaura with the smiling face. Very sweet. And I intend to keep mum about this!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't be smiling with so much color around them and HDP requesting a photo opp? Nice portrait.
ReplyDeleteAll that lovely colour! The joys of working in a greenhouse.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to work with flowers and the perfect reason to smile! And a lovely smile it is! You do have a way of catching people at their best for your photos! Love them! Hope you have a great weekend, Jack, full of color and smiles!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy portrait.
ReplyDeletePeople who know about flowers and plants always get my attention!
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with Grace, wonderful portrait, Jack!
ReplyDeleteThe mum is lovely and Laura looks so friendly. Nice portrait, Jack.
ReplyDeleteShe looks to be a lovely person!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely but it made me laugh because her pose is reminiscent of the ones adopted by 'The Calendar Girls' in their famous nude calendars. Only they use sunflowers and cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteShe looks as pretty as the flowers!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful lady to match those beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteLooks to be an explosion of color soon. I want one of those.
ReplyDeleteI like Laura! She knows her plants and has a beautiful smile. :)
ReplyDeleteJack, I remember when you posted your first portraits on your blog... You have really stepped it up a notch! I know that Laura would love a copy of this lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
Beautiful portrait! I love the colour contrast to her white hair and dress.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you gave her a copy of this delightful photo. I'd love to have one of myself just like it, surrounded by beauty.
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait of this beautiful lady!
ReplyDeleteShe looks happy and serene!
Bravo to the artist and the model.
