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.
This rose is now over two weeks old from my June bouquet. Photo taken on June 15, Sony a7III, with my Sony FE 30 fixed macro lens F3.5, 11250, ISO 125.

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.

Still so pretty – like an antique rose, maybe from an old fashioned mystery novel. It’s a clue to something.

Beautiful! I had many roses and something weird happened one year. One of them got sick? It started to turn brown and rapidly died.The the rest followed. I tired to do some research in hopes I can save them but nothing helped. I think it was a disease. I brought home a plant bought at Home Depot that had a disease I believe and it killed my beauties. I was very sad and have not had any roses since. I am having success with orchids 🙂
