Flower of the day – weekend bouquet
Flower of the day – hydrangeas
The persistence of snowfall can be quite the test of patience, especially when all one longs for is the arrival of warmer days and the blossoming of nature. It seems that winter’s grasp refuses to loosen, creating a landscape that feels perpetually locked in the icy embrace of the season.

Silent Sunday
Monochrome – apple blossoms
The difference of light transforms the image of apple blossoms with droplets gives it a totally different mood.

Flower of the day – Daisy
That’s what I am calling this flower, even though when I googled it could also be Mayweed. It is pretty, that’s enough for me, one of my favorite flowers, it is sunny. Brings summer to mind.
Flower of the day – Peach leaved bellflower
Peach-leaved bellflower is one of Finland’s most handsome wild flowers and has been grown as a perennial since the 17th century for its attractive flowers. Pollinators look to large flowers for nectar and pollen, but also shelter from the wind and rain. Peach-leaved bellflower’s most common pollinators are bumblebees, flies and large honey bees.

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.

The header is the same flower,( I don’t know what it is, but it is pretty) but the lighting was different in the shots. Do you prefer warm or cool tones?

Flower of the Day – China Rose
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, commonly referred to as Chinese hibiscus or China rose, is the name by which I have always known this beautiful flower. When I was a child, China rose, my father’s favorite flower would bloom in our living room.

Flower of the day – 17/11/2023
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.

This is my last photo of this New York Aster this year. Autumn brown have really set in.
Flower of the day – 24.10
flower of the day – 20/10
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.

First of all, I do not know the name of this plant. It is one that blooms later in the summer…early fall.
We had frost first time this year on the ground this morning, temperature was down to 1 C ( 33F) a bit cold. The say is sunny which is nice. Tomorrow is supposed to rain all day long.

close ups of a flax wreath
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.
