The Flower Hour Photo Challenge

Welcome to the Flower Hour!

Painnted Sunflower

Every Tuesday, I publish a post of a flower or flowers. There is no specific theme, and any blogger is welcome to participate and interpret the challenge with their original floral photos.

Images of flowers, gardens, fields of flowers, seasonal leaves, blossoms, berries, wildflowers, even bouquets and silk/faux flowers are welcome. Seasonal florals like close-ups of Christmas tree pine boughs, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly berries, etc. Mushrooms and fungi are also allowed. New flower images are welcomed, and archived photos are encouraged.

PLEASE NOTE: It is not my intention to replace or in any way copy our beloved Cee’s Flower of the Day. Sadly, her blog is closed now. We all miss her beautiful photography and her genuine friendship and caring for other bloggers.

Like my Sunday Stills Photo Challenges, please:

  • Remember to title your blog post a little differently from mine.
  • Please create a new post for the theme or link to a recent one.
  • Entries for this theme can be posted all week.
  • Tag your post “The Flower Hour.”
  • Don’t forget to create a pingback to this post so that other participants can read your post.
  • I also recommend adding your post’s URL to the comments.

When possible, each linked post will be shared on the Bluesky app to boost your blog’s exposure! If you share on social media or in WordPress, please use the hashtag #theflowerhour.

I encourage “double-dipping” with other blog challenges if you do not want to create a separate post.

Please feel free to use this badge on your blog posts.
