LAPC 221#221 – Flower Favorites – and Why?

Wow, what a challenge this week is! If you could only see how many photo’s I have of flowers…to try to narrow it down is insanity, but I will try to limit it to just the ones that really mean something to me personally. So…here goes ~

First, has to be this adorable hand full of love (and poor mommy’s garden), from my granddaughter while visiting in Arizona.

My husband’s Rhododendron. He planted it as just a starter beside our steps and it now stands over 6ft tall and at least that much or more around. I personally love this photo, it turned out better than I could have imagined not much editing at all.

City Flower, is one of my all time favorite shots! I was living in a little cottage in Portsmouth, Ohio, first time in my life living alone after 45 years. This beautiful strong flower grew out of a drainage lid on my sidewalk. Reminding me that there is still beauty to be found even in tough situations.

Dandelion, some will say its just a weed but to me it’s like a happy little smile everywhere! They also have many medicinal properties and every part of the plant can be consumed. Healthy and Happy 😊

Every time my husband was out on the road working he would always bring me home a bouquet of flowers. Always different, always beautiful and always full of love~

This is “Growing Old Gracefully” a reflection that beauty lasts even when it’s fading

And I will end with a photo of my Grandmother’s “Pink Lady” Lily. Special because she loved them and they will always remind me of her~

Hope everyone liked the set and thank you for the challenge!

  1. Sweet memories to these beautiful flowers, Sherry! I think flowers and scents easily bring up memories. Love your pink Lady and agree that the dandelion is a beautiful Flower…not a weed! Thank you for joining in with such beauties!

  2. I like your flower photos and the Pink Lady for your grandmother was my fav – – for many reasons – but it had a glow that also fit the vibe of a warm memory – and the faint pink and white in the photo also led us to that yellow center – so wonderful
