I took this colourful picture a few years ago during an event at the Antique Rose Emporium in Texas. The creamy-white flower is a form of hibiscus.
I felt the picture might benefit from a nudge towards a retro style, and to highlight the contrast between shade and light, so I added a filter to ones below.
Shared for Six Word Saturday, which was quite a treat today.

What a lovely old fashioned look, like still life paintings.
It must have been hard in the old days to paint them in such detail before they started to fade.
I thought so also ❤
How wonderful! I can’t help picturing these on a hat, which shows how retro I am. Gorgeous images!
And a very lovely hat it would be too.
These are fabulous shots!
Thank you!
Stunning!
Thanks, Judith.
Nicely done 🙂 🙂
I just hope our boys get something so nicely set up to finish off. 🙂
🤗💕
oh this is a like a 16th century Dutch painting – stunning
It’s a good bit harder to paint them than to take a picture.
That’s so true!!!
These are fabulous, especially the last one.
That was one huge peony.
I kept going back to the first one – so beautiful. It makes me want to grow roses again, even after I worked in the garden yesterday and was dismayed by the bug damage. In my garden, roses are beetle food.
It’s hard, isn’t it? I have a problem with greenflies, but no beetles, so far.
You should definitely try again ❤
Very luscious.
I’m glad you liked them.
Lovely.
Thanks, Sherry.
