For the Flower Hour, share your images of flowers, gardens, fields of flowers, seasonal leaves and plants, fungus, algae, cacti, blossoms, berries, and wildflowers. Bouquets and silk/faux flowers are welcome.
Below is a Calla lily, which symbolizes beauty, purity, and rebirth across various cultures.
For many, the beautiful trumpet-shaped white flowers of the Easter lily symbolize purity, virtue, innocence, hope, and life—the spiritual essence of Easter.
If you acknowledge the Lenten season leading up to Easter, we just celebrated Palm Sunday. Easter Sunday is April 5, 2026.
Because we planned our road trip to be in Northern California this week, we were pleased to attend services at our former church in Sacramento on Palm Sunday. What a blessing!

Remember, there are no specific themes for the Flower Hour, but please use your own photography. And you have all week to link to this post.
New to The Flower Hour photo challenge? Please check out my page for more information! I encourage “double-dipping” with other blog challenges if you do not want to create a separate post.

May you enjoy a peaceful week filled with moments of reflection and joy, as you embrace the beauty of springtime renewal and the warmth of cherished connections with family and friends. Happy Easter!

Although I do not particularly like the smell, I find lilies delicately beautiful.

They are quite beautiful to look at. Whenever we ordered them for Easter Services, the florist cut out the stamens so the sneezing wouldn’t interrupt the choir 😀
