Floral tastemakers have been in touch, and I can now confirm, as the first Friday of April commences, purple is the latest thing, the new yellow, if you will.
And of course, those #WeirdNotWonderful creatures shall be adding Absurdity.

A discarded Crisp packet marrs today's #FlowerPowerFriday.
I sometimes wish that those #WeirdNotWonderful Creatures were more like The Wombles, then the one pictured, would remove the crisp packet, take it back to its house, and turn it into something useful, like an Oven Glove.

It's the time of year when the world falls in love.
Good heavens, what am I prattling on about? that's Christmas, not spring.
Spring is when we look to Tom Lehrer for advice.
But Spring is here, and so is #FlowerPowerFriday and #WeirdNotWonderful Creatures.
#FlowersOnFriday #drawingfunnypictures
Traditionally the last Friday before St Patrick's Day saw people placing Daffodil petals into envelopes, to send to the Grumpiest individual in the town.
Not to cheer them up, it was to let them know that they were considered to be this individual.

#FlowerPowerFriday, shall be, for the foreseeable future, daffodil-centric, blessed as we are with an awful lot of them...
But fear not, the #weirdnotwonderful creatures shall highlight the much required diversity we seek...

An interesting fact about me, Carly Simon once wrote a song about me.
I know what you're thinking, "How vain is this guy?"
But fret not, my vanity doesn't prevent me enjoying #flowersonfriday, like this one daffodil, next to a #WeirdNotWonderful creature.

In Ireland, it has rained every day in 2026 so far.
But hopefully this shall end soon, and there are signs it will, and #FlowerPowerFriday shall document this, and #WeirdNotWonderful #EnglishAbsurdity.

"Where have all the flowers gone?" asked Pete Seeger.
"They're coming, you impatient ne'er-do-well." Mother Nature responded
The first Daffodil's of 2026 are here, much to the appreciation of humans, animals and #weirdnotwonderful creatures

The humble Snowdrop, The first sign that nature is done with the cold, grey nights and wishes to expand its Colour palette, have stirred the soul, and the pen, of many a poet. I am speaking of true poets, not rhyming humorists, like myself.

As is nature's way, it is taking its sweet time providing the correct colour palette, traditional for #FlowerPowerFriday, where I mix some #WeirdNotWonderful #EnglishAbsurdity, with some floral beauty.
But I still have some 2025 pics, that I didn't use.
#FlowersOnFriday #DrawingFunnyPictures
A gentle soul revolution, that's what the world needs
Perfect to lead it, is those #weirdnotwonderful creatures and a return to #FlowerPowerFriday, a combination of nature's beauty and some #EnglishAbsurdity
Although a Friday only revolution may not get far
