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.
It was almost four years ago, I visited Portland, Oregon area with Marsha Ingrao of Always Write. We both have family members who live there.
This dahlia lived at a neighbor’s garden near my cousin’s home.
Remember, there are no specific themes for the Flower Hour, but please use your own photography from your archives or new images. Your original images reimagined with AI tools in post-editing are also welcome. And you have all week to link to this post.
Aiming for the Dahlia farm in Canby, we ended up visiting the Portland International Rose Test Garden. We did a lot of walking to view these gorgeous flowers.
This beautiful orange hibiscus was taken on one of our trips to the Big Island of Hawaii.
Are you detecting a sub-theme here? I’m sharing these orange beauties for Dan’s CFFC Challenge: Crayola Box featuring Orange. Also sharing for Johnbo’s Cellpic Sunday and Pepper’s One Step at a Time #18.
Next week, we’ll tackle the Floral ABCs again with the letters G H I.
For the planners…
7/21 Floral ABCs—(G,H,I)
7/28 Plants/Flowers in Planters
