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.

Please note that I plan to take a very short break from May 2-4 while I switch my blog from a classic theme to a block theme. Don’t be alarmed if you see my blog offline during that time. I expect to post on time for the May 5th Flower Hour.

This week, I’m linking to Dawn’s Spring Festival and Lens-Artists: On the Water.

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.

  9. 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.

  16. 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.
