Mmmm...beans...
One of the things I miss most in China is what the Mediterranean diet in Spanish calls "platos de cuchara" (dishes which require spoons): beans, lentils and chickpeas are all non-existent here. They are good for health and delicious, but nowhere to be found here.
Nevertheless, you can keep the beans and I will take the UN, Nico 
Friday 21st of March: Watches & Flowers!
WS-fans, Theme for this weekend is Watches & Flowers ! So, please join in and let the weekend begin! Colourful.... Or less colourful... Sterile... Or full bloom(an)... Either way... I wish you all a great weekend! Best Blomman...
Flowers . . .
. . . are a favorite background of mine, too, blomman . . . . . . along with sunsets on the Pacific. Best, Art ...
Yesterday was the first day of spring . . .
. . . so flowers are blooming everywhere, even on Wrist Scan!
For the horticulturists amongst us, the flower . . .
. . . in the background with Black Connie is a rock and roll rose, and the image was taken in my uncle's garden. Here's a better picture of the flower . . . . . . and my niece, May 2012. ...

With a monster like that on the wrist....
Who cares about the flowers name...?! ;) Looking great, G! HAGWE Blomman

certainly the biggest watch i've ever owned, but it doesnt wear as big as it should. the Longines 24 hour heritage i now long for is slightly smaller at 47mm, but wears bigger due to the large crown stem. best G
I am always surprise by this femomena...
Some small watches wear big and some big watches wear small...! :) Makes things more interesting... Best Blomman
i've been told that quite...
i've been told that quite a few times over the years Vlad, but never by a man :) G
thanks Hs. its big without...
thanks Hs. its big without looking it. i must wear it more often. best G
I tried on at least three occasions . . .
. . . to persuade myself into buying one, Graham. As a watch, it's everything a guy could want. I like everything about the XXL except for one trifle: it's way too large for my wrist. Now that Omega has come up with a three-handed co-axial movement with c...
lets hope something nice and...
lets hope something nice and reasonably priced is in the offing. i have my eyes on a 1964 Grand Seiko at the moment. very nice except for incorrect crown so if the price is right..... G
Mr Bean Shot, for the week end...
Unless you prefer the Anti Vlad Shot: HAGWE, All! Nicolas ...
I like my beans . . .
. . . with garlic! Peppers, too. :-) Actually, those are both wonderful images, but there's something about Nico's frijoles that calls to me. He's made the same shot (different watch, though) with coffee beans and tea leaves before; the varied patterns on...
Well, my friend, did you ever try the Sonata on Beans? With a good beer...
This is delicious! Best, Artie. Nicolas
I've seen the Sonata . . .
. . . but never tried it on. Now, chili beans and beer - yeah, I have that all the time! :-)

Yes, indeed.. I especially like the AntiVlad-shot of this great UN.. Although..
.. I am a convinced Pro-Vlad afficionado ! This UN is with an easy-going sportyness, and friendly face, IMHO.. Best, also for the weekend, my friend ! hs
thank you mate!!
was a amatuerish shot. picked up the frangipanis from my garden and was gonna place them in a bowl of water...decided to take a picture with ym watch first. did it before i even kbnew the theme for the week...such coincidence!! best, Horo
not sure about the hugely part,....but generally yes.
thanks matey. i actually took the opicture before I kew the theme for the week!! best, Horo
Fabulous shot Horo
The dial is the absolute nicest I have seen on a KV. And the Frangipanis take me back to my old garden in Singapore. My favourite trees, and I miss the fragrance. Great photo. Dean
I will grab a picture of the Frangipani tree in my garden. There is a little one too.
Thanks matey. Didn't know you were once based in Singapore!! When did you leave? Best Horo
Yep
Lived in Singapore from 98 to 00, and from 02 to 08. Thinking of moving back again and work for SGX or other. Thanks for the great pic. Dean
That pic is almost like poetry.. Nice composition and splendid watch ! .. That dial..
.. simply is to love I am always amazed, how delicate his finish of dials and movements is ! Anyway, I really enjoyed your pic ! Best, hs
Thank you, don't think it's my skill, but the attraction of the KV
High praises!! Thanks very much :) Best, Horo
The sun was out today...
and I had on one of my favourite watches... Cheers Andrew ...
Fantastic combo Andrew :)
The contrast of the denim strap with the watch looks great.
Thanks Mark
It is a fairly recent addition to the watch and it gives it a totally different look to the standard croc. I actually wear it more now just because of the strap change, strange how something so small can put a watch back into regular rotation. Cheers Andr...
Here we go..........
What a coincident Blomman like flowers. :-) :-) :-) I'm not so colorful today. :-) :-) :-) ...
The blue details really pop! :)
Yes, Blomman likes flowers... Surprise! ;) HAGWE Blomman
The best the magnolia has ever looked ...
... and not just because of the delicious 1966 Chronograph in rose gold. The magnolia seemed to like the drought. ...
I'm bowled over
The shirt colors coordinate so well with the blooms and the sky and you have great depth of field too. I love this shot. Great one! Best, Joe
That's what I am talking about! :)
Double score for you, Andrew! Beautiful watch & flowers! :) HAGWE Blomman
Azaleas are just wonderfully colored.. And that GP is a great match.. Love that play..
.. between the gold components ( eg: indices), being in harmony with the blue elements ! What a nice choice that GP of yours is - envouting ! All the best & HAGWE ! hs
My favorite GP...
I love this watch Andrew....always a pleasure to see it. Best, Javier
Spring in the UK
Hi all You can tell its spring in the UK there are daffodils everywhere Cheers JML ...
Thanks!!
The flowers are known as Stephanotis floribunda, the Hawaiian wedding flower vine. If you live in a warm tropical climate I highly recommend growing it as the flowers are very fragrant and waxy!
Omega PloProf with cactus flower.
I thought they made a nice couple. Blue dial with orange hand matched with green leaves and orange tips. Bill ...
The green / orange plant is well matched by the blue/ orange PloProf.. Rarely seen..
.. that timepiece, which has an exuberant note, to me ! best and HAGWE, Bill ! hs
Thanks for reminding me, Bill . . .
. . . there's at least one cactus background photo in my files . . . . . . from my tour with the Montblanc Villeret Retour-à -Zéro. Art ...
Way too early for flowers here blomman. So...
a watch from 2009 that was much too heavy! Nice colors at your end. HAGWE, -- Richard. ...
A Fly boy too heavy for you, Richard?!
Can't belive... It must have been the battery! ;) HAGWE Blomman
A bit cheating....
.. this one is a cutom-order unique piece - don't want to know the price, made just like the rose flower with lots of jewels.... HAGWE! Ken ...
Wow! You left me without words, Ken...
...and you are right: I really really do not want to know the price... :)
Hej, Fernando .. Again two great shots !.. Simply love that Yin-Yang of Chrono vs classic

Hydrangea Movadis

Thank you for sharing yours with mine.....
The Rasta is a favourite of mine to herald in spring with its bright and cheerful personality. HAQWE Cheers, dreamer
These are fantastic
I love them all, and of course the watch. But you found fabulous examples of flora to go with this beauty. Best, Joe
what is weird is that the watch red seems to take on its environment...
.....like a chameleon
I was waiting for this one, my friend! :)
Perfect series of photos! :) HAGWE Blomman ...
OK, my friend .. Trooping the colors.. And matching the ambiance..
I will try my best, to fulfill the theme : So here are my submissions: some Vintage, some Modern and some JLC and some others.. BTW: your own choices are splendid: flowers & watches, as well Hence, without further ado: Jaeger Vintage Chrono.. In flower be...
You know practically all of them.. But thx for so kind looking.. And you know..
.. watches & flowers, I very much like that genre ! - at least as much as ticket-or coffeeshots.. Luckily, no shots taken during Framboise or Calvados interludes ! ;) Best again, hs
Blomman has decided to be romantic this week
However it matches with the first European sunny days greatly! Have a great WE everyone! Cheers, Mark ...
Mark, lovely pics from your specially nice PP !.. We've got real warm days here, as well

Only one option for me - Red Sub with flower
Hello Blomman, when I read your introductory post yesterday with the particular blossom, I knew I could only post this picture: I know it´s a bit aged already, but the best I can possibly offer. Kind regards anaesdoc ...

Great theme Blomman! Freinds, here's my usual late contribution! Always wanted to take a pic with my wife's Reverso Best regards, Seeks ...
I was very careful ...
