TODAY'S FLOWERS. I Heart Macro & Nature Notes - Naked Ladies in all their Pink Perfection


Sorry for my long absence, nothing wrong, just needed to 
be kind to myself for a while . . .

meanwhile, the seasons have changed and these are not the 
'Darling Buds of May' but my lovely naked ladies in March


the heralds of autumn, they come in many shades of pink


as well as white which I may show you next week


above, a mid pink and below a startlingly strong pink


my garden and corners of the farm are ablaze with them and
awash with their very pleasant scent.

  6. Gorgeous. Most of our naked ladies are in hiding this year. One, pale pink bloom. I hope they re-appear next year.
    Great to see you back, and I hope your kindness to yourself paid dividends.
