A FEW FLOWERS FOR YOU

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.
    It 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.

      Thanks 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 :)

      Thank you Lucyna. How nice to have your memories of childhood. Mine were the roses in my father's flower garden :)

    It’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.

      So 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 :)
