My favorite is the sunflower, but it is the wrong time of year to see any growing outside. [img]https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-03b40/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/1202/1245/00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20180412091641047_COVER__28840.1523540205.jpg[/img]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/sXYhvw8.jpg[/img] they're a little worse for wear this close to the end of their season + it's been pretty rainy/windy today, but i got a pic of some poppies growing down the street! it's always awesome to see them take over in the spring :-)

Some flowers in a park near where I work! I eat outside for lunch a lot when the weather's nice :) [img]https://i.imgur.com/uvE2c2Xl.jpg[/img] My favorite flower, though....well, my signature tells all -_- Gotta love forget-me-nots

was able to take a a shot of this beautiful fella at the Gardens of Saginaw, which i believe is a type of Passion Flower. i just loved the way the petals looked and it really stood out to me [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d4/a5/fa/d4a5fa017217699fe7707d2bfd00fbcb.jpg[/img]

Unfortunately, it's difficult to find this flower in America My flower is the Lotus, traditional to my culture. It symbolizes the holy seat of Buddha, and because the flower rises from the mud and blooms in exquisite beauty it symbolizes perfection and purity of both heart and mind. It also represents long life and honor. [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/bde0a8ec5dede8f799b7d4e87ab906f2/tumblr_pgz9pkWrdx1wcookgo2_500.jpg[/img]

[center][font=century gothic][size=4][b]DAY ONE[/b][/size] [size=3][i]flowers[/i][/size][/font] I have multiple favorites and it's always hard to choose just one, but as my [s]minor[/s] obsession with nearly all things peach began almost 10 years ago, here's a shoutout to peach roses! the peach obsession was boosted early on by the receipt of a lovely bouquet of peach roses for my birthday, after which they became my new favorite rose color. I prefer them tending towards coral/brighter colors rather than really pastel. a friend has some in her garden, but I can't get to them today, so here's an image from the internet.

The scavenger hunt is always my favorite event of GG every year <3 There's not much blooming where I am yet (I'm chomping at the bit for flower sales to plant some this week!), but the snowball bush in my backyard is absolutely laden somehow! When I was younger, at this time of the year my sister and I would take buckets outside and fill them with all the tiny flowers from this bush and then dump them on each other. Maybe that's where I got my love for flowerfalls... I picked one to press and give to her next time I see her so she can remember those great times too ^^ [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/e13d2c8b643b87f59dece6ca2572a775/tumblr_ps4zm71oC21w4qlcyo1_540.jpg[/img]
