I love flowers - Most beautiful flowers in the world

I wish I was there standing in the flowers now! Its so vivid can almost step into the wonderful pictures. Thank you.

If you like / love flowers. There are two places, I was lucky enough to visit, that are a must see..

The first must see location for flowers is in my home State of California.

THE FLOWER FIELDS OF CARLSBAD, CA

The second MUST SEE location are the Tulips fields in the Netherlands near Holland / Amsterdam.

S&F! I love flowers! and I'm obsessed with flower photography. In fact, i'm waiting on mr. postman to deliver my new lens today so I can get out later! I drag my partner and daughter to parks/gardens several times a week! All time favourites have to be roses! I hope you don't mind me sharing my flickr images?
The David Austen rose.




Hibiscus is another favourite!


Tulips


and Hydrangea!


Loving all the photos people are adding!

A couple more, Lavender! another favourite, we have a huge big bush of it, so i've got vases full of it, it has the most beautiful fragrance!



A Dahlia, like in the OP's first post



And i'm unsure of what these are exactly, little daisies?

Dafodil - I love the bell
in the middle of the
flower. With the first
flower I see in the Spring
I always go out to look for
more to photograph. Its
always my favorite time
of year.

As a professional gardener, and having my earliest memories in the garden, I like this thread, I am so excited to get back to work, hands in the dirt. Our planet Earth has SO many amazing flowers and plants, I believe that many hold a cure for any ailment that humans will ever have, unless we have destroyed some of the. I find it amazing that certain cultures have known the plant spirits in their areas for thousands of years, and that today we can try many of them.... one of the good things about globalization. The more I research into this subject the more I find. To paraphrase Bill Hicks.... Why are marijuana and mushrooms illegal when they grow naturally on our planet....Isn't that unnatural??? Damn I wish he were alive to try some of the other plants out there that would surely squeegee his third eye!

You're in fragile earth. Without flowers and those that pollenate you wouldn't be here, don't like the thread, don't read it. Go somewhere else and show off your sparkling personality.

ETA: before anyone tries to correct me, this WAS in FE forum when I replied.

I guess you did not care to read what forum you were in??

Actually we still would be, life existed long before the emergence of flowers in the Cretaceous period and it will be here long after they are gone.

Deny ignorance.

Fragile earth is a subject to discuss things related to earth. Such as wild weather, earthquakes, ecological disasters, etc. Not for posting flowers.

Deny ignorance.

thanks for confirming Jace.



now to get back on topic on an off topic forum :

I recall driving through the Oregon countryside a few years back and seeing plenty of digitalis growing off the side of the roadside trees. It was a pretty sweet sight considering I don't get to see too many flowers growing in abundance where I live.

Wow ive seen it all now, how could someone possibly hate on a thread so beautiful?
I'm a grown man and I thought that # was cool looking.

Back to the thread.

Quite awesome actually, the images are so in depth and the quality is astounding.
Thanks for sharing. Got this bookmarked

It's times like these that I'm glad my Mom and my girlfriend are not on ATS. One look at this thread and I could kiss my fishing trips goodbye. I'm temped to try to put a few of these beauties in my garden, but I'll stick with my flower of choice, dandelions. They're low maintenance and you can use them to make wine.

Star and flag to you, OP, but I'm not coming back to this thread. If I don't see these beauties again, maybe I won't be temped to try to grow any of these.

Seriously, though, great thread.

Peppermint tulip or at least
what I call it because of the
colors. It is a tulip though.

Flowers arent going anywhere. Where we go, they'll be there too. If they're going everyone else will too. Eutopias are filled with them and more colors than you can imagine.

What a lovely beautiful thread!

I'm all about the orchids. There's so many different varieties, from Phal, Dendro, Vanda, Cymbids, ah, the list goes on.





I go crazy nuts about orchids.

Love em!
