Mommy's flowers

Those british fairies had traveled all this way long but don't seem very impressed.

In my part of the world we also don't have 4 defined seasons. It's more like rainy time and dry time. On the other, is good to think in Spring and all the stuff that come together. So, here it is my quite literal interpretation of this week challenge at Three Muses (please enlarge).

All
these flowers are from the garden of my mother which I photographed in different moments. I do not know the name of all: orchid, rose, amaryllis, dahlia, bromeliads, hibiscus, azalea, arum, anthurium, hydrangea ... The background is also a photo of my mother's garden. Fairies are from an illustration of Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939). There's a Beth Rimmer paper I used as texture.
