Now that school is out, let’s have some summer fun with our ABCs! This week, we’re sharing three flowers (or plants) that begin with the letters D, E, and F. They don’t have to be blooming or in season right now—anything from your archives is welcome.
If you’re stumped, feel free to get creative and use the scientific name.
For the Flower Hour, share your images of flowers, gardens, fields of flowers, seasonal leaves and plants, fungus, algae, cacti, trees and tree blossoms, berries, and wildflowers. Bouquets and silk/faux flowers are welcome.
You do not have to participate in this theme at all; simply share a flower of your choosing, as long as it is your original photograph!
Let’s see how well you know your flowers. I will identify each flower at the end of the post.
Anyone can join the Flower Hour with their original photos. You can also use AI tools to edit or reimagine your images. New flower images are welcome, and archived images are encouraged. 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.
For the planners…
7/14 Flower/Plant of your choice
