A focused picture of a single thistle pom. It is a bright pink-purple with its small flowers pointing in every direction. The flower itself is the only thing in focus in the picture. Behind the flower, very out of focus, is a lightly wooded area.

Thistle me this; Thistle me that. Is it #pink or #purple, You would call that Splat?
#foliagedriday brings you a delightfully coloured Southern Thistle. It looks just like a #pompom! #nature #photography #naturephotography #focus #wildflowers #rhymetime

Prominently in the center is a bright red, slightly pink, rose tilted just to the left. The petals are all open wide. Surrounding it is a sea of waxy green leaves with several 'older' roses appearing near the top in the background. The bright red contrasts greatly with the deep green.

The neighbor at the end of my street has at least 3 different #rose bushes in their front #garden. They are definitely all #foliagedriday material! These red ones were so vibrant last week it was hard not to look at them. #nature #photography #red #cultivated

A top down view of an Adam's Needle plant. At the bottom slightly out of focus are the leaves of the plant. They are long and pointy, radiating in all directions from the center stalk. Above the leaves is the center stalk with several branches, each holding several bell shaped flowers. These white flowers hang downward open toward the ground. There are several bulbs that have yet to bloom, but most are open. These flowers go to the top of the picture. There is some grass and other low plants in the background.

I'm a little late on posting today's #foliagedriday because life can be hectic. Today is a top down of an Adam's Needle! A very hearty and useful plant, it would make a smart addition to any #garden. This was down the street from my home. #nature #photography #yucca #soapplant #flower #mayflowers
