…photos 2 and 3? The colors are so delicate. They look a little like the leaves on radish sprouts, 🌱 but like I said, I’m not an expert at flora identification.

Such a contrast with photo #1, where the colors are so vivid.

Photos 2 and 3 are micro greens. We used to call them bean sprouts.

I don't know exactly what kind these are; I only know that they can be photographed in such a way that they don't look like they do when you just look at them. They fascinate me!

A BIG contrast with the flowers!

The flower photo needed to be cropped and it was difficult to decide just how to do it. But I succeeded!

Who would have thought purple and green or green and orange go together. I'll tell you who, nature, that's who. Thanks for capturing them and sharing.

Colors and textures really draw me in. Nature is my friend. I'm very lucky!

And sharing is my middle name.

The colors in the bouquet in the first photo are stunning! What are the plants in the second and third picture? I'd love to go to you farmer's market.

The flowers spoke to me! And I answered by taking their photo.

The plants in the second and third photos are what we used to call "bean sprouts." Now we call them 'micro greens.'

It would be so much fun if you could visit this market with me! It's such a festive place.
