In search for the white flower.


I found this little vase in the thriftshop some days ago,
on the outside it is darkbrown glazed, the inside is white
with soft brown lines dripping to the bottom, almost
like a glacier.
I was looking for a simple white daisy-like flower to
fit, but couln't find any.

From my herbarium:
Linaria vulgaris, common toadflax.


Melilotus albus, white sweet clover.
I dried this one in 2006, but its aroma's still intact,
for me the ultimate summer smell :-)
I started a flickr!

  4. your pressed flowers are so gestural!
    mine always turn out so mushed up!

    I can't believe you can still smell it!

  15. I really like these photos. So cool and calm. I saw your new flickr! I like to see all the beautiful work you have done. I started my flickr not long ago as well. It was a lot of work at first, but now I just upload the photos as I blog and it is easy.
