TODAY'S FLOWERS - Poppy & Roses


WISHING YOU ALL A SAFE AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS !

Share your love with family and friends, remember, not
everyone has someone to share Christmas with so wish some
lonely person a Happy Christmas in the street or at the checkout.
You have no idea how much that can mean.

Time for TODAY'S FLOWERS :

this just opened poppy caught my eye all crinkled still from
it's cocoon, with stripes painted
on it's petals.


Roses against the light, romance personified . . .



It is worth enlarging them, especially the poppy.

Pick your best flowers and send a bunch to TODAY'S FLOWERS so
everyone can enjoy them !

    The light through the petals of these flowers is exquisite Arija. Like the inner light shining through everyone.

    What luminous flowers you took pictures of! The poppy looks emitting light on its own. Together with the delicate soft pink color, it is one of the loveliest photos of a flower to me.

    Thank you for your comment on my latest post. I was so touched to read it.

    Wish you a peaceful Christmas and a happy New Year.
