Rufe - I can't choose a favorite and won't even try. I love flowers and love shooting them also. Don't apologize for taking so much room. In fact, I don't mind if you take even more room with images like that!

Nan - I am so glad you showed us more. That little girl looks like she is trying to decide if she can get away with touching "just one flower"

Davidk - after a rain is a wonderful time to shoot flowers

Jay G - all are pretty, thank you for sharing today.

Rich - I agree, always a great subject and your images are very nice, thank you.

ravenglass - I noticed you recently joined UHH and so I welcome you to UHH and to our daily challenge. This is a beautiful flower and I hope we see more of you and your work.

Perilin - yes, yes! I am so glad you joined us today and showed us a few of your pretty flowers.

Rathyatra - ooooh very pretty. If you have a few more in archives please feel free to share! I have no shame, I will beg to see flowers! :-)

I hope everyone will share some flowers today.
As usual I am not picky. It can be a real flower, artificial, indoor, outdoor, a painting you made.... new or archives.
This is the time of year that a lot of folks need to be cheered up and flowers help cheer me up.
Enjoy the day.

As for the song... a friend sang this at my Grandma's funeral and although I am not real religious I love this song because it makes me think of my Grandma.

RicknJude - the sunflower is beautiful

Perilin - I miss you when you are not here and I am glad you will get some time off soon.

Rathyatra - boredom, with flowers? Nope, not me! Beautiful again and feel free to add as many as you wish.

Clicker thank you so much for your comments and compliments

Modest - your welcome and that is beautiful. More are welcome, for, just because... :-)

Baz - after the first three I believe you have to add one at a time. If you don't have flower photos you can show us some more of your fish.

pg 4

Judy - beautiful and beautiful. You have more if I need it? Heck yes, send them on, I have nothing to do today except look at the beautiful flowers you all share. Your neighbor may share some of those bulbs when she/he digs them up and seperates them every 3 years.....

Susie Q - I love flowers that are different colors throughout their life stages, very pretty and thank you. I am sure it will bring a smile to Nan.

Dutchbug - i love bird of paradise, gerber daisy, and generations. I have never seen Berginia before and it looks quite lovely!

RicknJude - love them all!!!

Peanut - for one who is not a flower picture taker you did very very well and those are beautiful. Thank you!

bee7474 - exactly why I chose flowers today, to remind us of warmer weather. Lovely lovely flowers, thank you.

lnight - thank you for sharing and these are lovely. I don't recall ever seeing a pointsettia tree. Very interesting! I am so glad you decided to also share out of season flowers! LOL I love them. That painted daisy among the white ones is perfect!
