Let's have a little collaborative artistic fun :)

Go and find the nearest (real) flower to you, even if that means going for a little walk, and take a photo of it. Post it here in the replies.

Others: look through the replies, find a flower you like, and draw/paint/sketch/etc. it.

Here's one from me to kick it off - this is a love-in-the-mist flower from the wild flower patch in our garden

@Curator It's a bit of 3:20am for doing a current photo, but I have a photo from a few weeks ago! A tomato flower!

@Curator

I have to share this spectacular sunflower we grew last summer.

@Curator Don't know what this is, but if someone wants a water drop based challenge:
@Curator tag me of you post a sketch of it, would live to see them. ( training AI prohibited, DM for license pricing for that use)
Will have to post a photo-comment using my Masto. Will put it in reply to this, if possible.
@fluffgar @[email protected] @Curator oh, I do love sweet William. So pretty.
@Lionesslady Sweet William! I could not bring the name to mind and the label on the pot is to far gone to be of help. Thankyou.
@Curator They're exploding into bloom!
