The Flower Hour #28: Flowers in Water

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.

There are no specific themes for the Flower Hour; just use your own photography.

  3. Love all the flowers. Seems everywhere you look there are more to see, and in all colors. I’d be snapping pictures all the time. 🙂

  5. This is a beautifully curated and inviting piece that celebrates both photography and the quiet joy of observing nature.

    What stands out most is the variety and richness of imagery—from purple tulips in a garden to wild coastal blooms and riverside flowers. Each setting feels distinct, yet connected by a shared sense of calm and appreciation for seasonal beauty. The movement between locations—Spokane River, Hood River, San Diego coast—creates a gentle journey that keeps the reader engaged.

  12. Superb theme and gallery, Terri. I do love the ocean and coastlines. What a beautiful photo of the Coastal Rock Cress; it makes me feel like I am right there at the shoreline. Love the tulips; they look so regal in their festive purple.
