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.

Ooh I’ve never seen them so boldly coloured. The grand opening will be good. Please post them, unless they’re from file.

They are from file. I’ve only seen these in plant nurseries, so I don’t know if they open more or not. 😀

They really do look like those pretty paper lanterns in which I had all my lights whenever I moved and didn’t have the money to buy fixtures — yet. If I ever buy them again, it will be orange, for SURE.

Orange lighting is soothing. We have a used them to chill out and watch tv before bedtime 😀

I love Chinese Lanterns and used to buy them as cut flowers. I don’t think I’ve ever grown them, though, even though I have slight memories of doing so in Boulder Creek, CA. Perhaps fact and perhaps wishful thinking. Here is my garden shot for today’s prompt: https://judydykstrabrown.com/2022/10/21/autumn-garden/
