The end of summer

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

This Gerbera daisy was a Mother's Day gift that my son-in-law picked out for me last May and it grew in a pot and brightened my deck all summer with its blooms.

When the weather turned cold the flowers began producing seeds and gave me some interesting photo opportunities.

I brought it indoors for the winter and I'm hopeful I can keep it alive to bloom again next summer.

This rose was also a gift...

That little bud was just beginning to bloom when we got our first snow and it got knocked to the ground.

I rescued it and brought it in the house and put it in a vase, but the little rose bush is planted outdoors in hopes it can survive the winter.

Wish it good luck!

I miss summer already! Today is raining and all the snow we had is almost gone, thank God, but there is no sign of flowers anywhere. Beautiful pics Melinda 🌸😍🌸

Thanks, Lena! No flowers here, either. Except for the photos I took before winter arrived! Hope your hand feels better!

My pleasure Melinda. My hand seems fine, thank you for asking........the stitches are out.

Glad to have all that behind you, I'll bet!

Oh yes! Thank you Melinda 😊

Thanks, Pix! ❤️

All are beautiful, but my favorite is the gerbera

They do look beautiful on your cakes!

I thought so! If I make a cake to my mom I think she will have some gerberas💕

Beautiful flower 🌸😍

Flowers are the soul of beauty...

Thanks, Mike! They certainly are!

Here in Cuba hot is coming down. Let's wait the winter together in STEEM

A Cuba winter does not compare to a Wisconsin winter! Stop by anytime and share your warmth!

@melinda010100 that is a pretty colored rose, I hope the bush can make it through the winter

Me too! I have not been very successful with roses in the past.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

@melinda010100 store-bought rose bushes are hard to keep alive, you have to make sure you buy one that will do well in your zone.

It was a gift and I know nothing about it.

@melinda010100 sometimes the nurseries sell plants that are not suited for Floridas climate, they know they will not survive down here, plants like tulips and hyacinths will not grow here no matter how you care for them but they sell them anyway.

That happens here, too. I hope this little rose is hardy!

Pictures are beautiful.... Hopefully the flower will survive and again make your garden more beautiful next summer..

I think I should cover it to help it make it through the winter. I need to read up on caring for roses.

I adore your "seeding" photos. How artistically beautiful.

Hope your rose bush survives.

I had never seen one go to seed before.
Fingers crossed for the rose. I gave up planting them years ago.

Good luck with your daisy and your rose. I hope they survive the winter to give you another bloom next summer. 😊

Beautiful photography

Such vibrant colours as always. Stunning!

Thanks so much!

How beautiful i hope they all survive and you can enjoy them again for next spring 🙂

Thanks! Winter does get in the way of gardening!

One thing i know i will be seeing some beautiful snow photos again 🙂

Lovely flower photography, nice detail on seeds bursting to fly on the wind, hope you captured some to grow Melinda.

Soft Apricot/Orange rose reminds me of my Dad's favourite called a "Little Joey", not sure it that is the true name, it was what he referred to when he spoke of this beautiful rose, it had a divine perfume as well.

its your camera photography buddy

She is very beautiful. You have a great son-in-law, darling Melinda!

Well, here's to hoping they do well indoors! Great photos, especially the ones of the plant gone to seed. They're such autumnal scenes, those stems in various stages of dry and seediness.

Saludos. Estas son hermosas fotos, de bellas flores. Tuve una Gerbera, se secó. Pero ella me dio muchas flores un buen tiempo.

Son adorables, ¿no es así? Gracias

Las plantas y sus colores o frutos, me hacen muy feliz. Un abrazo.

Plants and their colors or fruits make me very happy. A hug.

#2, #3, #4 are my faves. this is the beauty of wilting I am always carried away with.

Me, too! I like photos of faded flowers!

Oh those are wonderful flowers and photos. I didn't know daisies came in such bright colors!

They are native to Africa, I believe.
