How did the poinsettia become the official flower of the holidays. Doesn't a sunflower deserve a little love, too?

🙂

A picture of a sunflower in a thoughtful pose, wondering who the poinsettia knew in order to get named the official flower of the holidays.

It's been a day, hasn't it? And if yours was like mine, just revel in the peace of this picture.

And the colors, too.

A shot of a bunch of pink daisies in and amongst a bunch of other flowers, taken on a day without snow & freezing mist but instead with a lot of sunshine. Sigh...

Happy #magentamonday to those who celebrate!
A shot of a bunch of magenta(ish) flowers to celebrate the most magenta day of the week.

Go ahead. Pick out your favorite.

A shot of a bunch of periwinkle flowers in front of green grass, taken on a much more hospitable Marquette day than today, when it's 15 (F) and windy.

Sunflowers and sandstone. You can't get much better than that.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #sandstone #pictureobviousdlynottakentoday
A picture of a sunflower in front of one of Marquette's iconic sandstone buildings, in this case St Paul's Episcopal Church (celebrating its 150th anniversary this year!)

Monet or Van Gogh? Discuss amongst yourselves.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling
A purple and yellow flower in front of a green background, looking for all the world like a painting from one of the masters.

Snow? We don't need no stinking snow!!

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #makethesnowgoaway #picturenottakentoday
A bunch of red flowers against a vibrant green background, an antidote to having 80,000 inches of snow on the ground around here.

For someone who takes a lot of pictures of flowers I don't actually know a lot about them. Whatever these are...they're unique. That's for sure.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #pictureobviouslynottakentoday
A picture of a bunch of purple flowers that, for all intents and purposes, look like church bells. Or is that just me?

A little gray can be distinguishing on an individual, right?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #sunflowers #graybeards
A picture of a sunflower that, judging by the gray appearing on it, may be getting a little long in the tooth.

With 11,000 feet (give or take a few) of snow on the ground, we need something bright like this.

Stat.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #orange #stopthesnow
An orange lily with nary a flake of snow around it. Picture obviously not taken today.

Wow. Even in November the remaining flowers like to celebrate a #magentamonday. Good for them!

A bunch of magenta flowers hanging on this November, awaiting the chance of some heavy snow heading into the (American) Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

This may very well be a portal to another dimension. Or just some really, really pink flowers.

I haven't quite decided yet.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #pink
Several pink flowers with a weird, otherworldly texture to them, so weird that one can't completely rule out that they're not of this reality.

It IS finally the weekend, isn't it?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #theweekend #butnottheweeknd
A group of red(ish) flowers looking forward, after a long week, to the upcoming weekend.

Don't mind us. We're just practicing for Magenta Monday.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #magentamonday #eventhoughitsthursday
A whole big group of magenta flowers on a day that (probably) can't be classified as a Magenta Monday.

How do you like my new highlights?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #highlights
A shot of a red & white flower, with the white appearing for all the world like the red flower decided to get highlights in its hair. Assuming, of course, that flower had hair. Or would get highlights in it.

Stand out from the crowd.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #beunique
A shot of a daisy (or two) in a field of purple wildflowers, a sure sign that individuality draws the eye much more than the masses (although, in this case, the masses look kinda cool, too).

In mid-November, we're longing for days like these.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #whenwillitbespringagain
A picture of a daffodil, spreading the word that another Spring, another season of growth, is on the way.

Why do I feel like somebody's watching me?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #sunflowers #whateverhappenedtorockwell
A picture of a sunflower that appears to have a pink stalker behind it. Either that, or the sunflower is being tailed by the floral division of the FBI. It's one of those two.

Look. The sun finally came out today.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #yellow #photonottakentoday
A picture of a yellow lily (taken in July), looking for all the world like the sun, which today finally made its first appearance in Upper Michigan in almost a week.

For those places, like ours, where snow has turned everything into a blanket of white, here are the rest of the colors.

Just in case you've forgotten.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #colors #snowsnowgoaway
A picture of a garden filled with every color BUT white, an antidote to a snowy few days here in the Great Lakes.

I guess this could be defined as hanging on for dear life, couldn't it?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #bees
A picture of a bee hanging onto a flower, attempting to defy gravity as it does its pollination thing.

It's supposed to snow here this weekend. These sunflowers have one simple request--

Make it stop!!!

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #wedontlikesnow
A shot of several sunflowers (behind a few purple flowers but in front of a car) screaming out to Mother nature to NOT have it snow this weekend.

Look into my eyes...uhm, eye.

It's the Cyclops of flowers, isn't it?

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #cyclops
A picture of a yellow flower, which appears to have only one eye, making it a Cyclops. Or a pirate that's taken off their eye patch.

I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling #sunsetboulevard
An extreme close-up of an orange lily, acting for all the world like Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard".
