Since so much of our fandom seems to love horticulture, and gorgeous photos of flowers are always a good thing, I thought it might be fun if we shared pictures of our country’s/province’s/states flowers with each other… you know, to spread a little extra beauty on the timeline. And maybe even learn something along the way!
Canada doesn‘t have an official flower, but Alberta‘s (my province) flower is the wild rose - seen here on a walk through my neighbourhood yesterday
Tag some people, share some photos, interpret it however you wish, and we can see how far this goes!
@roguetwelve Laurie, what a lovely idea! So much positivity! It’s what I crave for these days tbh… So… I don’t know if I will participate on a regular basis depending on my psychological condition and mood BUT… For today have some lovely rhododendron blossoms to admire from a park in the city of Hannover over here in Northern Germany. This park is HUGE and its known for the hundreds of rhododendron bushes that are growing there and that are blossoming every spring at the same time. I love to take a walk there then. Or just to sit on a bench marveling in the scents of all the blossoms. It’s just so amazing. I know the rhododendron isn’t a plant that’s growing particularly only here in my country. But I wanted to share the positive vibes of these pictures with you anyway. Lots of love to you all, fam!
I have to concur, this is a lovely idea! I love flowers and I love to learn, so this is a perfect combination. Thanks for tagging me ☺️
@roguetwelve Alberta has chosen well for an official flower, spotting wild roses always cheer me up when I’m out and about. @pendragaryen I’m quite envious that you have such a park to visit. It must be stunning when they are all in bloom!
Our national flower is not in bloom yet, but I have something very swedish to share that I happened across in the woods today: a lingonberry plant. No berries on it yet, but I got to see its cute little flowers for the first time. Lingonberries are used for making lingonberry jam that is served alongside our Swedish meatballs. One of my favorite dishes FYI. Yum!
