my new friends

i thought you might like to check out some of my mates from the flower markets

Below we have Gus (thats not his real name, he never told me, so i made it up)

He tried to tell me that the plant in his hand was called a pepperoni plant. 

I said, "hey for real? like salami?" and he said "yeah!" Im pretty sure he was pulling my leg 

and im also pretty sure hes sponsored by adidas.

This is fernando, hes the MAN!

This guy just has cool stuff, he looks like a JERRY

And this guy got so jealous because i took a photo of Mr Pepperoni, so i had to take his photo also. He looks very neat. 

ice ice baby- a cold adventure part 1

So if you were wondering who is smarter than the guy who invented electricity, i can tell you the answer. WE ARE

If for some reason you didnt already know it, i am a genius and mylee is my associate genius.  HERES WHY

We just made floralistically infused icy poles.

Your heard me, rose petal and lavender infused elderflower icy poles. 

Additional ingredients include cherries and berries... cause they were just hanging around

*When I say your house, I actually mean your computer, and when I say on the way, 

we are already here, frantically ringing the door bell.

 Have you ever tried to hitch a ride with a plank of wood and 5 flower bombs?

Mylee: No, no its flowerbucket street, flowertrumpet town.

Thank you saresy for being a master photo taker and traffic deathdifyer

Guest Editor - Rocky River Wright

hi, my name is rocky river and i am about 2 and a half. due to popular demand, holly asked me to guest post on the flower drum. i am really stoked because i love computing, but i was running out of things to look up in wikipedia. this me in the photo on the left wearing a flower crown and eating an egg (can you believe this is my passport photo!) i would say about 65 % of the day i am wearing some kind of headwear, usually its a bucket or a helmet, but sometimes flowers are ok. Sometimes. Now, dont get me wrong, i like flowers just as much as the next guy. But seriously, holly comes over with bucket loads of flowers and just makes a mess everywhere. Her and my mum are just flower crazy. They can sit there all day talking about flowers. I mean, are you kidding? i could talk about buzz light year all day, but FLOWERS? REALLY? My dad thinks they are craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy

here i am helping holly build her structure, i gave her that small paint brush because she had NO idea what she was doing.

 heres the structure before I knocked it over, im not supposed to show you this yet, ohhh welll

jazz it up! ha ha get it?

alright, things are getting weird in here. 

1. who let the tiger inside

2. why am I wearing a bloody onezie

Thats a wrap from me, stay tuned green thumbs!  

Peach out, Rocky. 

coming soon.

Here are a couple of behind the schemes sneak peakers from my latest project.

I will be proving captions with each image so you feel like you know whats going on.

I went for a drive really early to this place. For the uninitiated, this is the fruit and flower market. Its sort of near NOTHING and very far away. There are NO road rules around here. Dudes fly around in forklifts in reverse whilst texting on their mobile phones, and you HAVE to give way to them (no, that�s not a road rule, that�s a survival skill)

While you are out here, you can get a KEBAB. For reals.

 

I bought all of these� for you. I know, I shouldn�t have.

 

I filled my dress up. By the way it looks like i have a scab on my knee, YUCk! Its actually paint alright?

 

And started making some coolness

You cant tell here, but im actually swearing a lot about the fact that the same fricken colour flippin flowers cannot touch each other.

In between all of this, I went to the tip and the hardware store, but I forgot to take photos, so you will just have to use your imagination. But, IT happened.

Stay tuned for the absolute grandiness

Im yet to see the photos myself, so until then, im not even sure if it really happened?

shut up and eat your flowers

I whipped up this bowl of goodness on Sunday. 

Carnations- the breakfast of champions. 

Just add water. 

right brain left brian?

It is scientifically proven (by me) that wearing flowers in your hair makes you smarter.

I am encouraging left brain use by wearing nice smelling boronia on that same side. 

This infact opens up the left nostril hole, allowing more oxygen to enter the left side of the brain. 

FACT. I am smarter today and I will be so busy utilizing my left brain functions.

you can do this brain test if you want- BRAIN TEST so you can work out what side to wear 

your flowers on

hide and seek

this aeroplane is so lousy at hiding. ummm we can see you!!

ring ding ding! boronia please!

Holly: What about these?

Mylee: No, i want something that smells nice

Just at that moment my eyes spotted one of my most faaaaavourite flower items ever.

BORONIA, from the Tribe Boronieae. These guys smell so nice you just want to rub them all over your face and your friends faces too.  They are practically limited edition, so go out and grab some right now, otherwise you will have to wait till next year. Yep you heard me, next year. 

 Also, please look at my donkey, her name is lola, as in - "she was a showgirl. 

With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there. She would merengue and do the cha-cha." You know, the song. 

Its by Annie Wright hyphen Z-wad aka Tubarosa

presenting - the flower bomb

My latest creation- the flowerdrum flowerbomb

At buzz light year speed the flower bomb was flying about the house like a Qantas A380 with both its engines intact.

Luckily we had the camera handy to document such extraordinairity.

Warning.. this sadly ends badly.  PG viewing. 

Dont worry, i didnt die. I just got knocked out for a bit. 

product disclosure 

 set decoration by mylee and ozzie. and by set i mean, thanks for letting me rampage your house. 

pps. where is my CAKE??? hmm?

the process of the adventure

Once again we headed out to flower land in search of stuff for my upcoming project. More on that later. Here is a photo documentary by Mylee. Oh yeah, we saw our mate Rasputin too, he totes pretended he didnt remember us, until i heckled him..
