Welcome to the new Flower Hour!
I am super excited to offer another photo challenge!
Every Tuesday, I will publish a post of a flower or flowers. There is no specific theme.
Images of flowers, gardens, fields of flowers, seasonal leaves, blossoms, berries, wildflowers, as well as bouquets and silk/faux flowers, are welcome.
Any blogger may participate and interpret the challenge with their original floral photos. New flower images are welcomed, and archived images are encouraged.
It is not my intention to replace or in any way copy our beloved Cee’s Flower of the Day photo challenge. We all miss her beautiful photography and her genuine friendship and caring for other bloggers.
When possible, each linked post will be shared on the Bluesky app to boost your blog’s exposure! If you share on social media or in WordPress, please use the hashtag #theflowerhour.
Similar to my Sunday Stills Photo Challenges, please:
I encourage “double-dipping” with other blog challenges if you do not want to create a separate post.
I am looking forward to your participation each week.

Thank you, Vipa! We’re you aware of Cee’s Flower of the Day challenge? Sadly she passed away last March. I borrowed this idea from her in her honor. I’m excited you’re excited! 🌻

Thank you, Beth. I pondered about doing this challenge after Cee passed. We thought her partner would carry on with FOTD, but so far it’s not happening. I thought, why not? And this like Sunday Stills, can be linked all week.
