All my photos are from my 2016. With everything going on in our world, I hope these bring a smile to you today.
There are all kinds of names for purple Asters. I couldn't fit these with one particular name. Therefore I am naming them 'Purple Asters'.
Licoris radiata 'Fire Engine'
Chelone lyonii 'Turtlehead'
Helianthus Sunflower
Its great to see some beautiful colours Denise.
ReplyDeleteIt takes the eyes of an English Rose to easily pick out those Asters from memory.
Hope you and all the family are well and keeping safe.
Hey Roy, so nice to see you here. Thanks for your sweet comment. I hope you and all your family stay safe and well also :)
Deletethey are all beautiful, I love the fire engines and have seen them in the woods here but not for years now.. flowers always make me feel good... so does your collage. which program did you use to create the collage at the end
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, I think I used my Paint Shop Pro for that. I made it a long time ago before I even knew what an iPad or iPhone were :)
DeleteThe are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha :)
DeleteSo good to see these pretty petals. Looks like spring is around the corner, Denise, and hopefully in our world too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Penelope :) I hope your spring is a very special one this year :)

ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan, I am happy these brought you a little cheer :)
DeleteYou have always shared such beautiful flower photos! These are wonderful and I needed the color burst this morning!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sallie, it makes me happy you have enjoyed them :)
DeleteIt’s really beautiful to see these bursts of color, Denise, but I also enjoy winter even if the weather hasn’t made it seem like such.
ReplyDeleteSo glad, and I am a winter lover also. Not extreme winter weather perhaps and am so thankful I can hunker down when bad weather is around. I really feel for those who have to be out in it :)
