MACRO MONDAY # 9 PINK


photo by Lulda Casadaga 5/09



This is a close-up of my neighbors rhoderdendrum plant. I used to have one in front of my house but my husband had a freak moment and cut it down. Don't ask me why! I just ask that the flower gods in the universe do not judge him too harshly on that last day!

Was the old man having a macho moment and frightened by the pink?

What do you mean last day?

Lulda Casadaga said...

thewalkingman: Yes, he must have had a macho moment indeed! I wanted to have a psycho moment and chop him up! :D

G-Man: Don't worry no harm will come to my husband...he's my personal chef and you know I need to eat! :D

Very nice rhododendrum. I love those, it's a pitty they don't blossom for more than a week or so thougt, but they truly are beatiful.

Lulda Casadaga said...

Dagrun: Thanks for stopping by and the kind words...I agree they don't last very long! :(

Martha said...

Good luck to your husband on that! LOL! Beautiful shot :-)

My husband wouldn't dare to cut anything in my garden before asking me what it was and if he had permission! Beautiful neighbor's flowers, though! Great shot!

Gattina said...

I have two, one since over 20 years and one just planted ! I love the flowers. Your husband must have suffered a moment of crazyness to cut it down, lol !

Lulda Casadaga said...

Martha: Thanks! And he does need some luck because my patience is wearing thin!!

Lin: I was weak and didn't stand my ground on this one...NEVER AGAIN! and I won't even tell you what he did to my potters wheel! :(

Dagrun: DAMN! I knew I spelt it wrong!!

Gattina: Crazy is not the word I wanted to use that day. Well at least my neighbor still has his that I can admire and make snide comments to my husband when they bloom! :D

Unless he yanked it out by the roots, don't be surprised if it bounces back bigger, better and badder than ever. Rhodies are notoriously tough.

Sweet photo... looks almost like a lei.
