poppy anemones

Poppy Anemones are my favorite 'winter flowers' and preferably this pinkish-rose color called Sylphide.

To enjoy anemones a little longer, you need to put them in a small amount of water, because otherwise the flower stems might rot. Make sure you check the vase daily, because they take up large amounts of water. A transparent vase is therefore the best choice for the poppy anemones.

Took this 'I feel like spring' picture with my iPhone this morning, while I was working at the kitchen table. I posted it on Instagram and wanted to share it overhere anyway.

a bunch of flowers, like in a child's drawing...

spotted

The name of this plant is spotted or trout begonia (begonia maculata).
It was a gift from my friend Marieke and the plant is growing steadily on the bench in the kitchen.
Watering the houseplants has become a Sunday morning ritual.

Now I'm going to pack my suitcase for the trip to Marrakech.

Morning sunlight in the kitchen.

The wooden blinds create this perfect light effect. Rock that wall!

Flavouring the kitchen with souvenirs.

lemon

This lemon is created by poster artist Michel Bouvet for the 35th edition of the Rencontres d'Arles, one of the largest photography festivals in the world.

Michel Bouvet creates the posters for the festival since 2002. It's a colorful series of fruits, vegetables and animals. The posters contribute to the unique visual communication of the festival.

We picked the lemon from 2004 to take home as a souvenir of the stunning photography festival we visited during our road trip.

The similarity with our lemon rug is awesome!

roadtrip - les rencontres arles photographie

During our stay in Arles we visited several exhibitions of the 45th Edition of Les Rencontres.

My favorites were Vik Muniz, David Bailey and The History of the Lemon Geranium by Hans de Vries I think is extremely funny.
