Flower of the Day for a year - a Challenge!

[farendwoman]

The last few sweet peas for this year, I think.
I shall make the most of their fragrance.

Today it is a geranium that is my flower of the day

Just a slight cheat today. I photographed these Autumn crocus yesterday afternoon when the sun was on them. As soon as they are out of the sun they close and you can’t see the stamens. They are still in bloom today!

Kniphofia - I always give them their common name ‘red hot pokers’ which seems a bit odd when I post this yellow one and previously had posted a white variety ‘ice queen’. I love these plants and the late variety ‘ice queen’ is still pushing up stately flowers in a bed at the front but this smaller earlier yellow variety here called ‘sunningdale yellow’ has threw up a late bloom as a result of continuing summer conditions. It had previously put on a great show in July. The number of plants of any kniphofia variety can be increased easily if dug up in spring as new growth is appearing and simply split into smaller pieces with a spade.

Nasturtium from me today and there is a bee inside the flower in the second photo

My Flower is Basil Mint - wish you could smell it as well as see it.
There was a small bumble bee on it but it was camera shy.

Another late show - this time ‘sweet william’.

My Flower is a Geranium in a hanging basket (with yesterday's begonia) which hung outside all winter (I forgot them ). They survived the snow and frost, haven't been watered, fed or replanted but they are in the shadow of an oak tree which may have protected them.

M’y flower for today is a late flowering rather tatty pyrethrum.

B.C. that's a fine photograph that you have posted, perhaps I should have been using my camera rather than the kindle, however here's mine for the day and again its one of my tubs of begonias, taken with the kindle

Hope you're not calling me B.C. as I'm not that old.

Campanula or more commonly called ‘bell flower’. Was truly beautiful earlier in the year and like so many other plants in the garden has decided to bloom again admittedly with much less vigour. Like all colours there are so many shades. White is just not white. With this plant it is possibly the purest of whites possible and this gives it true beauty. Almost tissue like but such a clean white. I really like this perennial. It always amazes me how a plant’s roots can extract from the soil what is required to make a particular colour. Ask a scientist to extract from the soil a consistently pure colour and he wouldn’t be able to.

Today, I have another Flower from the Forgotten Hanging Basket Collection - a pointy petalled and funny shaped leafed Geranium.

Doing my bit for the wildlife, a Dandelion, food for the hoverflies.

Sorry about that VC auto correct, but are you absolutely sure its not correct
