Evocative Provocative
April 23rd, 2009These massive tulips take a little longer to bloom than others in our yard. They are huge. I’m avoiding the obvious subject at hand, which would be a discussion about Georgia O’Keefe 1, 2. My image is only midly suggestive. O’Keefe’s images are all the way labiariffic. o

Did you know there is actually a flower named “clitoria”?
Flowers are the beautiful genitals of the plant world.
oh, no you don’t. (or no, you di’int?) when it comes to shooting tulips, there’s no such thing as “mildly suggestive”. not the only o’keefe influence i’ve noticed in your work, btw. all nice shots.
Beautiful macro!
I’m totally working labiariffic into my lexicon. Thank you!
That has to be the first, best and to be honest, only use of the word labiariffic I have ever seen, but I can guarantee the usage just spiked considerably.
It’s not every day that I learn a newly created word! Now to find ways to use it in everyday conversation…Hmmmm.
Ms. O’Keeffe denied to the last that her paintings were anything more than large flowers.
For what that’s worth.
Was it her art or the orchid or the iris or the calla lily itself that was truly labiariffic? What of the poppies, the white trumpet flower, the closed up morning glory? Not particularly evocative, imo.
Lovely photograph.
Labiariffic is my new favorite word. Please please please tell . . . uh, I mean . . . lovingly suggest and encourage Heather to use it in an upcoming masthead! Fitting, since you will soon be overwhelmingly outnumbered by them in the house, no?
The photo is awesome, as usual.
