This is a flower contest! You have to enter flowers, or any kind, color, shape size, anything! Enter pictures, I will judge and decided a winner! There are categories, wild flowers, and home grown flowers, you can enter up to 5 flowers, but you can't win twice. This means you can't ever 5 flowers, and win 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. I will pick the best flower out of all you entries, and that will be the only flower that I place. It must be your picture, and all SS rules apply. The comp end is undecided, since I want to make sure I get enough entries, before it ends. I will tell you 3 days in advance of the comp ending. I will pick 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and runner up, hope you have fun in this comp!

2. Wild flowers!

This is right up my alley :D Its raining today but I'll go get some pictures when I put the ducks to bed. Im not a great photographer, so I hope the beauty of the flowers speak for themselves :D

(PS, plenty of wildflowers at this time of year down under)

Ok got some in between showers, a lot were blurry so I will just try to put the good ones up... Where do homegrown wildflowers fit in? Haha

Hopefully they are not too big, it's hard to tell posting from my phone. I only know what a few of them are actually called. Enjoy :)

Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
Wel it is November and we have already had several frosts. So why a contest now that includes wildflowers? Not trying to be Debbie Downer but all the wildflowers around here are dead and gone.

This last one looks Rhododendron to me, maybe? That is the only one I know of, @Azureduckchickgoat you are a great tree identifier, can you ID flowers too? Beautiful pictures!
