Flowers with impact

The two pictures says it all.  Flowers can have an impact in the environment.  I am not inclined in growing a garden because I have not an once of green thumb.  What I should do is incorporating flowers into my writing or try to incorporate it in my embroidery.  When I think of flowers, I usually think of small flowers like daysies.  I should also go for the bigger flowers as shown in the pictures.

Time to learn new flowers' names.  I have no idea how the flowers in the pictures are named.  I wonder and I guess it can be found: a website or a book with flowers' name and their pictures.  I am sure there are herbarium in some specialized library or bookstore.  Gardening is a section in bookstore, I am sure of it.

I will keep those pictures as reference.  First, for if I do experiment with embroidery and second, ti remind me to use and describe those flowers in some stories.  Gardening and flowers can be a topic that can be easily be included in writing.  It's not really advance the story but it help to create ambiance and add to the external scenery.  I admit I don't think about that when I write an outdoor scene.  It is a shame and I want to resolve that mishap.
