Bicycle Built for Spring

Bicycle Built for Spring

Photo Submitted by Nadine Thompson.
This is just such a perfectly composed spring setting. How did she make a bicycle with flower spokes look so natural? Nadine gardens in New Hampshire and she took these photos on a drizzly spring day, with her dog pal, Louie. In all her photos, Nadine's plants seem to peek around each other. I asked her what the bike was made of. "The bicycle is made from metal and is pretty sturdy. I really enjoy it and look forward to the plants growing and seeing it in full bloom. The plants do kind of tumble together, I am reaching for a cottage type garden." I think she's succeeded.

Congratulations, Nadine!
