Dead Alstroemeria

A couple of weeks ago, I longed for spring. So, I took pictures of flowers. Most of the flowers are long gone except a bunch of purple Alstroemeria that have graced my desk. I thought it was time to toss them out, but, before I did I photographed them.

Don't take me wrong, I love flowers when they are living. But, there is something special about they way flowers look when they are dead (this may make me very, very odd). Last year, I took some photographs of dead tulips and a week or so, my friend Jacqueline took some wonderful pictures of her own dead tulips.
