March to Caroline from Mia - pondering flowers


When I put Caroline on the list for March, I mentioned that she is very fond of blue and gardening - so this one is perfect for her.

Today, on the Instagram reels - Leslie posted a photo of 4 envelopes showing what a fun mail day it had been at her house on Monday. My Monday was also a fun mail day - and I received 6 envelopes. The odd thing was that there was only one in the USPS Informed Delivery email. I wonder why. I wonder if I will ever get around to making an appointment with the USPS to answer all my questions.

This envelope is from Mia in Canada. I do not have the envelopes here so we won't be guessing what medium she used. The bursts of color look like they were inspired by flowers - probably the most tried and true inspiration - which makes me wonder: Is it possible to make ugly flowers? 

A Google image search for *ugly flowers* provides quite a few photos of flowers that I would call exotic, but not ugly. If you add *line art* to your search for *ugly flowers* - there are some really nasty drawings - but the only thing that makes them nasty is that there is a human face positioned in the center of the flower. Imagine a creepy clown face in the center of a daisy. I do not recommend you waste any time looking at ugly flowers. I think we can agree that flowers are universally not-ugly.
