Flowers are just glorious! They surround us for most of the year giving us their glory! Again, I am participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggers And, this week’s Challenge is: Flowers! Let’s take a walk through some flowers, shall we?
Let’s start with this beautiful begonia that I found when I was strolling around town.

I love the textures on the emerging buds of the bachelor buttons.

When my husband and I were strolling along the beach in Hawaii, I found a dropped plumeria blossom looking quite striking against the lava and broken pieces of coral.

Am I boring you yet? No? Great! Here is a photo of a most unusual flower that I found. It is in the anthurium family. I love the spill on the flower!
