Funny, Fantastic and Favorite Flowers! đŸŒș

We were watering the flowers in our half circle out front. It’s between our dinner plate Hibiscus & behind a small bit of daisies. I cant wait for those & our Rose of Sharon to bloom. They are doing really well so far. Fingers crossed :crossed_fingers:

Thank you, I can’t take credit for the photo, my daughter took my phone & started enhancing the flower. She did a great job though! It’s a great way to capture the flower with the water.

We got this flower as a seedling from my neighbor. It’s a Dahlia. It just started blooming this week & it’s beautiful! I love to sit on my porch & look at it in the sunlight. :two_hearts:

The Dahlia is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing. It could be a desktop background or perfect profile pic. Can I steal it?

I know this isn’t a “flower”, but look what happened when we were shucking corn

These are Japanese Radiata White Egrit Orchid. They really are stunning!

Also @BryWisteria the Dragon Skull Flowers are what happens when they die. When living they’re called Snapdragons and they’re really beautiful flowers that come in many different colors. I came across some on my outings and fell in love with them last summer. I also have a tendency to fall in love with all the types of wildflowers too!

These are the Snapdragons while alive

Also I don’t have a garden of my own at this time so these images were taken from google.

You got some bonus corn, @Susurrus! :joy::corn: :corn::corn: I’ve never seen that before either- it’s wild! I imagine it would make a good offering if you decided not to eat it. It could definitely be a sign of abundance, fertility, and/or prosperity! :blush:

Oh my goodness that orchid is so beautiful, @jessika! :heart_eyes: And I had no idea the dragon skulls came from snap dragons- it seems that one beautiful flower transforms into something else interesting. Thanks for sharing your floral wisdom! :hibiscus: :blush:
