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.

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.

Cee, the color of this lotus almost doesn’t look real. It is so perfect that it looks like CG in the movies. Beautifully composed.

I don’t think lotus or waterlilies look real. They all look painted to me 😀 😀 Thanks John 😀

I didn’t realize a lotus is a water lily. Maybe that’s why they are the preferred tidbit of the moose in Maine.

Yes, they are, mostly we discover the plain garden variety yellows and whites and forget they are exotic Lotus.

Marilyn and Andrew, FYI if the flower grows out of the water they are usually Lotus flowers. If the flower floats on the water, they are waterlilies. 😀 😀

Lovely flower. I like the high key treatment you’ve given it. Emphasizes the lovely curl at the tip of the innermost petal.
