I have a fascination for women who
dye their hair in a bright colour. So I started photographing this
coloured hair and started my colour project, meaning that I link the particular
hair colour with a plant in my garden. This time:
Apricot.
Suddenly she is walking in front of me in the Kalverstraat. (Amsterdam).
She wears her apricot-coloured hair in a ponytail. When I approach her she
turns out to be a Dutch woman. The first one! Of course she wants to pose.
"Should I take out my hair tie for a moment?" Before I can reply she
pulls off the hair tie. I take a picture and ask her why she chose this
particular colour. She answers: "I already have had all the other
colours". Routinely she puts her hair back into a ponytail again, wishes
me success with my project and disappears into the crowd. Leaving me in
confusion.
Apricot, I immediately think of my new rose 'Boscobel'. It is a David
Austin rose that I have planted last year. The rose thrives and gives a lot of
flowers. But also eligible is the
apricot-coloured Dahlia 'Jowey Linda'. A perfect match!
Mission accomplished. Apricot coloured hair, the rose 'Boscobel' and
Dahlia 'Jowey Linda’.
Next month another woman with a different hair colour. Thanks to this
Dutch woman.
Enjoy your week

That dahlia is exquisite, Hetty! I tried a few dahlias years ago, but they do not grow well here at all. I'll just have to enjoy yours!
ReplyDeleteThe Dahlia is a perfact match - the rose a little too pink. Now I will go back and look at all the other colours!
