Friday Photo Fun - Something Grown

Something Grown
by Rachel Hoyt



A field full looks like rainbows -
one of Mother Nature's very best shows.
Their Asiatic origin, I bet no one knows,
because that isn't where the bulk today grows.

Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,
or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.
After the answer is guessed, I will post a second, non-abstract photo,
and just in case you wanted to know,
the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -
they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon

Andy (the romantic poet) found the answer rolled off his lips.
This week's abstractified object is tulips!

  1. Awhhhh Rachel...you always have me stumped...I immediately thought of sunflowers or african daisies...but then your rhyme threw me off. Who knows? It could be anything 'yellow' at this point LOL.

  4. Hello Rachel.
    I would have guessed pumpkins, but then you said it was a type of flower, so I'm going with tulips.

    1. That's it! Good job Andy. :) Tulips have been one of my favorites every since the day I flew into Amsterdam and felt like I flew over a rainbow. :)

    2. Rachel,
      I love flowers. Half the time I haven't got a clue of the names, but tulips are among some of my wife's favorites too. I can't believe I got it right! <3

  6. For a sec, I thought you were saying he had it right with "pumpkins", then...you know...I kept reading ;D

    I probably would have guessed that, since there's a limited number of flowers that I actually know. Maybe I would have said "daisy" first. I guess I was just slow on the draw today.

  10. I thought tulips too but too late I guess! They line many of the yards up and down our road. We love to look at them when we go for walks. I love how you always challenge all of us! Have a great weekend!
