Welcome to my Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD). During the winter months, please feel free to use your archives and find some old favorite photos.
Please feel free to post every day or when you you feel like it. Don’t forget that my FOTD challenge accepts gardens, leaves and berries as well as flowers.
Photos taken March 28, 2022. The second photo is of sweet violets covered with fallen magnolia petals.
I’ve gathered a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

Do you know that song? I used to sing it with my sisters when I was little…Loved it. I think perhaps my dad taught it to us. Was it Rosemary Clooney who sang it first? I can hear her emphasis on it.

No I don’t know the song at all. I may have to look it up. 😀 😀

a bit annoying now but I loved it when I was small.

It does sound a little familiar. Dinah Shore brings back a ton of memories. 😀

Around here, most people consider violets a weed. I love them and fortunately, so do the bees.

I love the pop of color in my back yard, since it is mostly moss and dandelions LOL

I so love violets. We have a lot here, but sadly, they’re more usually white. They’re pretty too of course, but it’s just … wrong.

Don’t your violets know that they are named violets for a reason LOL. Thanks Margaret 😀

It’s raining here and I went outside and took some pictures of wet, pretty, purple flowers. I’m pretty sure they are vincas, but not the kind we had in CA.

It vinca if they look like small pansies 😀

They do, but I know they are vinca, and the home association here hates them and sprays to try to get rid of them. I think they are lovely, but they probably choke the life out of trees.

I agree to cutting them off the trees, but they stay green year round. They are gorgeous ground cover. 😀

I like them. Our first poppy bloomed today. I love them in the spring, and after that, I hate them. They are quite ugly once they dry up and hard to get rid of.

I so adore poppies. You can just deadhead them and let them grow back the next year.

I can spray them with weed killer and dig them out and they come back next year. LOL
