Contest: ENTER CONTEST: May Flowers

[tharpdevenport]

As the old phrase goes "April showers, May flowers". As it is not May, it's time for said flowers. SO, entries that show flowers, lots of flowers. I don't want a single rose, a little wrap of flowers for a girlfriend or wife, I wanna see lots of flowers. Flower me!

I'll be some what lenient of "lots", so feel free to submit something if you are not sure.

No overt science fiction and fantasy, though depending on what it is, I may allow it. Again, another submit and ask.

RULES:

• 200 by 200 pixels size limit.
• Two entries per person. I don't image there is a vast wealth of images to chose from. You may enter both the same day if you wish.
• Like I brought up and a few other members discussed, I think the days of having 1MB size limits are well passed. While other members are free to stick to that, I -- being the generous benevolent overlord I am -- will go to 2MB size limit. So generous. I should get a participation trophy for it. And a doughnut.
• No hotlinking. Host the image at a free image-hosting website, like postimages.org
• I'll leave the contest open for two weeks, maybe a few days longer. If I don't show back up and I cant' be reached, it's because I am unable to access the board or I can't stand the toxic crap from behind-the-scenes and simply am not logging in.

Flower ideas to kick start you:

Fields of flowers from What Dreams May Come.

Any TV series or film where a character gets a bunch of flowers delivered to her from a love interest, husband, boyfriend. There was such a scene -- for example -- in "Family Matters".

Dorothy waking up in flowers in The Wizard of Oz.

And more.

First off, I think that last suggestion is already taken.

I've had an idea since Monday, a specific scene from a specific film, but I haven't found a good source video or image to use. It does fall in the "receiving a whole bunch of flowers" category, but it was especially charming. I'll try some more to find a good source video or image, otherwise I'll have to move to something else.

Sorry, "operator failure". :-)

 

[Orac]

Wait, so SF&F is allowed? I ask because you suggested the Wizard of Oz..

 

[tharpdevenport]

She was dreaming. It's a dream.

 

[Orac]

I disagree. But respect your interpretation.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Man, I wish our weather would cooperate to make flowers a possibility to grow in May, but as it is, we had snow on May 1st, and the month so far has been feeling more like cold fall weather. Yeah, no flowers here.

You don't know the effort it took just to get a clip of this scene that I could upload and edit on ezgif.

He died and went to Heaven. He didn't die and and go to some unicorn paradise run by cupcakes.

And the rest of the sentence, that you cut off, was: ", though depending on what it is, I may allow it."
