I am cheerleading my dahlias this year, trying to inspire them to bloom like they had in the past 3 years. Kelgai Ann, the lovely pink and white waterlily dahlia, was so gorgeous last year and I featured her on this mug for Bebop's Place. This year, the buds are just barely starting to open and we're past the halfway mark in Septmber. Sigh.
This unusual mousepad from Pariseau's Market will brighten your home or office. It features the seldom seen Jewelweed flower over a golden abstract background/frame.
I love this whimsical mug by Customized Creations with 4 fun flowers sitting in 4 different pots. These mugs will cheer anyone up in the morning.
Welcome to Bebop's Place
Beauty has been defined as "The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality." Since our responses are totally subjective, I can only speak to what moves me.
I want to share the beauty! I have created a variety of floral products for my Zazzle stores, Bebop's Place and Bebop's Weddings, using my original photographs and designs. I am also constantly amazed at the gorgeous floral products available from the rest of the Zazzle community. I am hoping others will enjoy this blog and even be moved to purchase some of these lovely items for gifts or just for the pleasure of having such beauty around.

These are blooming right now, the queens of the garden! Brighten your day with this cheerful mug by Bebops which features a colorful design of stargazer dahlias in brilliant colors of pink, yellow, orange, gold, fuschia and maroon on a pure white background. More dahlias are scattered inside. They are called stargazers because, unlike the traditional dahlia, the petals have a pointy star shape.

Autumn is in the air and we pressed another 14 quarts of apple cider yesterday. It may be too early to think about spring, but here is a calendar that really celebrates springtime. When the daffodils bloom, we know that spring has arrived in all her glory! I created this 2011 Daffodil Calendar from my original photographs of some of my lovely narcissus blooms for Bebop's Place to celebrate the season with twelve exquisite photographs of narcissus varieties.

A few evenings ago, my neighbor called me to come watch her last Evening Primrose open. Three of us sat in the twilight dusk until it turned pitch black and the moon and stars came out. She had a flashlight indirectly lighting the area just so we could watch. It took a while, but this bud unfurled before our eyes. I came back early the next morning to get the final view before the sun hit her and she died. I documented this magical event with my camera and created a poster for Bebop's Place.

Everywhere I go these days in September, I am blown away by the fields of goldenrod. Yesterday I took this photo of a little house perched way up in the rolling hills of my corner of upstate New York. The view of the hilltop is lovely. Fields of goldenrod, illuminated by the sun, are accented by evergreen trees resulting in horizontal alternating layers of golden yellow and shades of green. Fluffy clouds have moved in on the blue sky. Hang this poster available from Bebop's Place on your wall and pretend it is a window!

Today dawned cool and clear. I have flowering tobacco (Nicotiana) which has volunteered and is blooming all over the garden. The bees, butterflies and hummingbirds love it. I watched a honeybee disappearing into the inner tube and then emerging full of pollen. I was inspired to created this poster for Bebop's Place which features a honeybee heading right for the golden green center of a lovely white and pink flowering tobacco blossom. The brilliant blue sky further enhances the vivid colors creating an interesting abstract composition.

As we approach the middle of September, I look forward to the brilliant autumn colors but I find I am feeling nostalgic about the delicate beauties of spring.
Here is a calendar I created for Bebop's Place from some of my favorite spring photos. Colorful flowers are one of the joys of spring! Each month of this lovely wall calendar displays an exquisite photograph of a cheerful spring blossom. Enjoy crocuses, tulips, apple blossoms, spirea, daffodils, lilacs, Jacob's ladder, irises, Johnny-jump-ups, antique roses, glory of the snow and columbines as you dream of strolls through garden paths.
National Park T shirt offers this marvelous poster. In describing it she said, "I found this beautiful field of sunflowers close to my house this week. They look like a captive audience of yellow and green!"
Country1969 created this tulip mousepad. I find his history of their meaning just fascinating. "They are one of the world's most recognized and loved flowers. The meaning of tulips is generally love. Each color has a meaning to follow. Examples are: red is true love, purple is loyality, yellow ones evolved over the years representing hopeless love to cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White is used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. No matter what color they are they are still beautiful for all occassions".
