Red is the theme
Hard to find red at the moment, but these I did find – still fitting for the season.
This week’s topic on CFFC is “red”. Cee asked us to Use our imagination and see what we can come up with. Be creative … not sure about that. They are red, these apples and berries.

I was looking for doors, but mainly found windows… and flowers. I found this one taken few years back. And, I thought to myself, this is rather good. It also worked well as monochrome. I’ll post it for next flower of the day.

Flower of the day – Martagon Lily
Today my choice is not actually a flower, but an empty core of Turk’s cap lily or Martagon lily.
Martagon lilyhas a long history as a garden plant: it has possibly been known in Sweden since the Middle Ages and in Finland since the 19th century.
After flowering the downward curve of the flower-stalks is reversed and the capsules end up in an erect position. After withering the rigid stem supports the fruits under the snow – martagon lily sticks out during the winter. As the wind blows the seeds rattle against the dry walls of the capsule until they fall out in a hard enough snowstorm.

October colors from this morning. It was once again a bit nippy as the temperatures had gone down to minus side last night.
Here are Hydrangea arborescens, commonly known as smooth hydrangea, wild hydrangea, sevenbark, or in some cases, sheep flower, after the frost had melted and left the pedals moist and shining in the cool but sunny morning air. Most of the pedals are now brown , but few are left white and green.

Flax – I have a flax wreath on my door. So here are some close ups of it.
In addition to their visual appeal, red berries have symbolic meanings in different cultures. They are often associated with love, romance, and renewal. In ancient folklore, red berries were believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits.
The close-up shots reveal their intricate details and the play of light on their smooth surfaces. It’s fascinating to observe the variations in size, shape, and texture among different types of red berries.

Flower of the day – Cholla cactus
This one I know – I think, my guess is Cholla 🌵cactus

All are low-growing, often forming thick mats that can be impenetrable. Spines come in all colors, but can be sharp as daggers.

Flower of the day
I got a lovely bouquet from my husband and it had so many flowers in it, and I could name few, but some were just pretty flowers without a name tag to me, and well, that’s my approach to flowers anyways, if they are pretty it is good enough for me.
No facts this time either
