Welcome to my Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD). Please use your archived photos or find some old favorite photos if you like. Feel free to post every day or when you you feel like it.
My tulips are starting to show a little color on their buds. And yes, I was out in the Oregon rain to get this photo.


Don’t forget that my FOTD challenge accepts gardens, leaves and berries as well as flowers. To see entire list of accepted flowers, click here. Please do not submit photos of trees that don’t show colorful blooms or autumn colors. Leaf close ups are always welcome.
For the Love of Challenges
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.

Our tulips are blooming. Not just one, but two flowering and another couple that look like they are going to bud soon. I’m glad yours are budding too. It has been a strange year where some things are late and look like they won’t flower and other things are early — VERY early.

Our daffodils are usually done by now, but the tulips would just be coming up. This strange weather is producing a lot of odd results. I think we should be planting, but they keep telling us “not yet.” So we are waiting.

… and the cold weather we’ve been having. Still getting close to freezing at night. Although the next few days will be drier and much warmer. So here’s hoping for some new blooms 😀

We have the same weather, pretty much. Hovering around freezing at night & warmer during the day; quite breezy though which makes it pretty chilly on the way to work 🥶

Same here. Although for the next few days, we are suppose to warmer (up to 16C). That will be a nice treat.

It really looks as if that bud is still sleeping. On the verge of waking up. Not sure if pingback worked, so for safe measure: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2023/04/21/i-am-lion-hear-me-roar/
