Always smiling @allknowing (153529) • India 9 Aug 18

It has a name that is what Google tells me by showing hundreds of similar looking flowers. I give up. These flowers have stamens and I just cannot locate any such flower in that crowded Google page. Suffice it to say however...

Roadside wild flowers

Fleur @Fleura (35073) • United Kingdom 21 Jun 16

For a lot of wildlife the development of a new road is something of a disaster as it cuts habitats into fragments and makes it more difficult, frightening and dangerous for animals to travel about. The traffic noise also...

A Day Well Spent.

Ruby Hawk @RubyHawk (99367) • Atlanta, Georgia 28 May 16

I had a nice long two mile walk today, so I'll call it a day well spent. It was pleasant walking the trail all alone and just enjoying the birds and the green trees over head. My better half found a nice shady bench and I'm sure...

jonaida @jonaida (574) • Philippines 15 Jul 07

Why? Is it the color, odor, shape,size or anything else? For me I love the carnation pink, it's so beautiful and it does not easily wither. I also like white roses and wild flowers.
