Photos - A flower a week?

[Nicos]

I thought it might be nice to share photos of flowers which catch our eye each week?
Between us we should be able to do this even if there are loads one week and only one the next?

Flowers can be grown from seed , bought plants / bouquets, garden or hedgerow flowers or even a piccie of a pretty flower you spot when walking in the town or countryside.

Lets share some pretty flower pictures !

I’ll start with my Lidl Amaryllis which I bought in November as 2 tiny flower heads and no leaves... look, it’s growing a 3rd flower bud!

Not sure what this is. Given to Mrs quanglewangle as a tiny plant. Survives neglect and nightly blasting by nearby dehumidifier. Nearly thrown out on several occasions. Then quelle surprise, it flowers.

I think it's a billbergia. I killed one years ago! Have a variegated one but I can't get it to flower.

... but I can't get it to flower.

Neglect worked for us.

A couple of flowering plants in my garden despite the cold weather

My first iris reticulata.
I have about twenty planters with hostas in. I decided to brighten up the winter with some irises. It was hard work as the hostas were filling the planters.

Mini Calendula (name unknown). Rescued from a neglected allotment and flowering now.

This is one of my geraniums I grew from seed last year. On Jan 3rd it was buds & I wondered if it was too cold to open,it has opened

[Nicos]

Fantastic! Well done growing from seed - I’m really impressed
Pretty colour too.

Another Iris, the blue one, plus the first lonely one which I posted 18 January with offsets. They are really bulking up well considering they are fighting it out with hostas.
