I have decided to change the title of this thread to possibly encourage more participation. If you have some flower images, please add them to this thread. Anything from landscapes to close-ups are welcome.

This week I am doing pink flowers from boreal forests.

My pink flower, though not arboreal. Dodecatheons.
Last post before being on the road with little to no cell reception for a few weeks.

Unopened snowdrops I discovered next to our house last week. The first flowers I've seen so far! This weekend they were in full bloom and this morning they were under 3" of snow...
