So...in no particular order, leave me a comment and identify as many as you can.
And no peeking at previous comments!
No need to get technical...common names are fine.
But don't be sassy and say 'pink flower'...!
This one is WAY easy but I love the texture!
Okay, no mystery here, just a very happy mom who got to see her baby this past weekend at college. Weather could have been better but her bright smile was sunshine enough for me!
So give it your best shot, guys! I'll announce the 'winner' in the next post!
Have fun and Good Luck!
UPDATE: And the WINNER is...drum roll please....Mr_Subjunctive!
Of the 12 in question...8 were correct!
Even our author friend, Chuck, took a stab and was 100% on his one guess...lol!
So here's the reveal:
Morning glory
Plumes of a red smoke bush
Magnolia
Crimped edge of a daylily
Campanula (balloon flower)
Gazania
Purple ornamental cabbage(kale).
Most of you guessed coleus on this one and I bet I would have, too!
Beauty berry
Dahlia
Tricyrtis (toad lily)
Viola
Iris
I'm glad you had a little fun with this post....thanks again for playing!!
Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI recognized a Dahlia, a morning glory, and some beauty berry and maybe a coleus. This was a very intitmate view of flowers usually not seen so up close and personal! Thank you so much for sharing. And I am glad you got to see your beautiful daughter. I got to see my daughter as well, she has really matured a lot in just two months.

Some of those are amazing photos. Particularly fond of the morning glory and toad lily.
I cannot make a guess on two or three of them... but I love the third photo from the top and the one just above the iris. :-) Wonderful photos!! :-) Thanks for this fun post.
ReplyDeleteMorning glory, daylily, kale, beautyberry, pansy, dahlia, toad lily.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see your daughter!
Not good at this, but they're great pictures anyway!!
ReplyDeleteI cant recognize any, but they are all very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn! how are you today? Love these macro views of the flowers. The yellow one is a gazania?
ReplyDeleteThe morning glory is pretty easy. I also see beautyberry, iris, toadlily, dahlia, sunflower or gallardia, iris petal?, maybe a lily.

The morning glory is such a beautiful shot. Now lets see, I confess some have me really stumped.
ReplyDeleteLily,blue campanula, beauty berry,coleus,dahlia, toad lily, iris.
That hairy one has me, the white one is a beauty also but I am stumped and I cannot figure out what the blue and yellow one is either.Nor the yellow and brown bloom.
This is just terrible ;-)
What fantastic macro shots Lynn. Fun trying to figure them out.
Lynn, I guess seeing your beautiful daughter must have stimulated a lot of creative juices in you. I have never thought of my flowers in such a macro view, so I can't even imagine how they would look like from such a close angle. Ok, Ok, I'm just waiting for the answers, brain in sleep mode now since it is going to be midnight soon.
ReplyDeletewhoa.. jaw-dropping, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteyou know how to celebrate the small wonders!
i think i recognize the round, purple ones...
is that a Beauty Berry?
seriously - incredible work!
an off-the-charts 11!
Chuck

Morning Glory, beautyberry, balloon flower, some type of lettuce or kale leaf, toad lily,dahlia,sunflower, red twig dogwood....no paticular order and I promise I did not look. I love these games
ReplyDeleteok, I did cheat a little by peeking at previous comments, but am NOT really cheating b/c I wrote my responses on paper first. So...Don't know the first. Clematis, GORGEOUS WHITE PHOTO!!! (but don't know - I would say magnolia but I doubt it), daylily, geranium, coleus, beautyberry, dahlia, toadlily, pansy, iris.
ReplyDeleteThis was soooooo fun!! The photos were stunning too!
How great that you got to see your daughter. So you'll be going to bed happy and content and at a reasonable hour now??!
My favorite photo is the third one. Sweet ambrosia is what you've given me today for macro photography is one of my favorite things. As for what the flowers are most of them I haven't a clue. I come to your blog to enjoy flowers and marvel at the variety for in our area flowers are few. In fact tonight, the weatherman says five more inches of snow are on their way. We just had five. Thanks for the bit of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteFirst these are GREAT pictures.

1-hibiscus
2-no clue
4-coleus

7-coleus different kind

Meant to tell you I was rooting for you at blotanical...well me first :)
You have a most enjoyable way of posting. Easy to look at blog. And you're friendly.
Anyway just had to tell you. :)
Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteNo way I could even attempt to identify the flowers, but they are beautiful!
I did peek at the other comments and noticed that even an expert like Patsi had to say 'no clue' to one of them.
Lovely picture of you and your daughter! Two beautiful young ladies!
Enjoy!
Hi. I wandered into your blog from elsewhere and proved to be useless at identifying the plants - but had great fun trying!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of you and your daughter - I am missing my daughter now she's gone back to uni and I can't wait to see her again!
Thanks for a lovely blog :)
