I won't be here for long time because as some of you know I was in university. Busy with hard things, news and long lectures. But that is not so boring when I know that when I back home I found my little garden, cactus inside and great memories from summer or past year events. That contest, which was held in Prague give me really a lot. At first respect in university. People start to say hi when saw me, even professors, or heads of university happily shake my hand and talk for a few moments. That was amazing.
Now back to my garden things. In Lithuania we still have no snow (this is not usual), so I still can to go in garden and enjoy very late blooms. That really surprise me when one day, while I go to other building in my yard and seen iris bloom. Then I stoped and stare. That was SDB iris 'Forever Blue'. Other hybridizers say that this iris really blooms for a long time, and was a great rebloomer. But I had no rebloomers in my garden until that day. Also I seen Tricyrtis in bloom. That was a new plant to my garden.

SDB Iris Forever Blue.
And you may think why I wrote inspiration in topic of this blog. Well as I was very busy, my minds was only on university things I have no time for something else. As like free time when I do some arts. And today, after long and really hard day I back home and feel that I want to do something big. I found one great song, which I listen now still, and then booom. I feel real true inspiration to do some arts. At university I have drawing lectures and here I paint a lot, but that was nothing if I don't want or inspiration was in other way, but not with me. So today I take my old artwork with daylilies in vase (that one, which I really don't like), and cover it with yellow and orange/red acrylic colors and then add few poppy flowers. As a result of it you can see few photos. Sorry for quality, these was taken with phone and in dark room.
And the last topic is News. In this gap I can say very shortly that I get invitation to meet Lithuanian president in special even for International contests winners. That will be great even. And I see our president again.
That's all for now.
Good luck,
Edvinas
Ed, That is great news. Glad you made some time to share it with everyone. Enjoy those flowers while they last. Bloom season is done here for this year.
ReplyDeleteWow, Ed, what an honor! Not many people ever get to meet their leaders and here you will be having your second meeting with the President of Lithuania! I am so pleased for you and proud of you! This is truly a grade cap on an already great and accomplished year!
ReplyDeleteMy "Toad Lilies" (Tricyrtis) did not do as well as they have in previous seasons. One planting is or seems to be dying out and the second is being bothered by a Walnut sapling that is now big enough to be releasing too much toxic hormone into the area and causing all other plant growth to slowly die off. I will move the "Toads" come spring.
Trees are bare now, fall weather is definitely upon us as well as some rather unsettled out of season weather (Tornadoes , 24-27 of them throughout the State this past Sunday, one only a mile or so away from home!)
All of my fall planted seeds are tucked in nice and snug for winter and blanketed with a a deep cover of leaves, Al of the old flower beds as well as the current ones have a healthy layer of leaves, in fact the entire back yard is well covered! The ground is so poor in back I don't bother with racking the leaves, preferring to leave them and let them do what Nature intended them to do, return to the earth to repeat the cycle of life!
I like the Poppies, finding it to be inspiring for me! So time to be off and creating with semi-precious stones and glass beads!
Congratulations on you up coming second meeting with you President!
