Sophisticated shades of pink: a double flowered anemone ‘Lady Gilmour’
I’m sharing this gallery of pink flowers as part of Travel With Intent’s weekly one word challenge. A new topic is announced each Sunday. You’ve probably guessed that this week’s subject is pink. Please head over to take a look at the other submissions – you’ve still got a few hours if you fancy playing along this week too.
Pink to make the boys wink! Marvellous! It’s great reading your posts and finding out about the names of all the different flowers and natural things. What did Oscar Wilde mean when he wrote in Garden of Eros of “the anemone that weeps at daybreak….like a silly girl before her love.?
That bit’s complicated, isn’t it? I’ve read all of Wilde’s plays and much of his prose, but I’ve never got to grips with his poetry, other than Requiescat. His prose is poetic enough!
It is indeed!
Great idea.
I had meant to share some orange lilies but when the post was almost ready, I followed the pink prompt instead. The other is drafted for a day when I’m feeling a bit more brash!
Delightful! I don’t like pink, but I loved your photos.
Thank you. I’m glad the flowers overcame their pinkness disadvantage.
Do you have an unfavorite color?
Mmm, I don’t think so. I like all colours but I am a bit particular about shades.
While pink is not my favourite colour, I love it in flowers. I love the mallow shot. Beautiful.
It’s not too challenging for the camera either, compared to blues and reds.
I don’t see a link in your response to Eliza, but I certainly am enjoying the whole idea of humans posing as flowers! Do we get to choose which flower we’ll be? This is hilarious. I thank you (and Eliza) for the wonderful distraction from moving!
Yes, we can choose, subject only to the constraints of our own faces and our ability to accessorise them. The link was a bit too well hidden – sorry. You would have had to click on the word ‘this’.
When this hurly-burly’s done, I’ll go back and try again.
Very wise. You don’t need to be imitating flowers just now.
I am very taken with Lady Gilmour, what a beauty.
Wow .. beautiful shades of pink 😃
Wow. These are gorgeous, Susan.
