flowers, french village, red bicycle

Recycled cycle

There must have been a shortage of plant pot holders in France, but the resourceful inhabitants of the village of Blies-Guersviller found a way to put their colourful blooms on display.

    This is one the most innovative and creative plant holders I have ever come across. Magnificent.And the red paint on the bike adds style!

    Hm, everyone seems to like it ... not me. Of course I don't mean the photo, ;-), but a red bicycle with red geraniums? Really?

    Thanks for the comments.

    Don and Krise: I love it, too. Roadside art might be the more appropriate term, here.

    clo: Vive le ricyclage de vélos!

    Joan Elizabeth: Nearby there was a one metre high watering can full of flowers.

    RogerB: Thanks.

    ical: Now you know what to do with all your old scooters in Jakarta.

    R.Ramakrishnan: The red paint does make it rather eye catching.

    Martina: I see from some of the comments in your blog that you know French. I think you should come down to Blies-Guersviller and give some lessons in colour coordination.

    JM: I thought so, too.

    Buenos Aires Photoblog: It makes you wonder what else you could use to hold plants. It might be interesting just to take junkyard and plant flowers in it.

    gogouci: Thanks.
