January 3rd photo of the day I guess it’s getting kinda hard to take photos of flowers at this time of year, not many around, but so far I’ve been lucky well in the garden here, not sure about tomorrow!! I wasn’t outside long taking photos, I only took 5 photos which isn’t normal for me. Too cold for me to stand there trying photos even with a coat on. Not sure what flower it is. What will I photograph tomorrow? For these you are into photography I used my 55-250mm canon lens with a 25mm Canon extension tube. ISO 400, f5.6 1/50 sec.

The flower in the photo looks like periwinkle....sometimes calls Graveyard grass. At the moment I hav a Christmas Cactus that is blooming as well as multiple African Violet's and a cyclamen. The cyclamen doesn't have a long lif expectancy....I usually seem to eith drown them or dry them out.

@kevin1877uk I am often better at identifying wildflowers....but that one I recognized....maybe because I love the colour...and the glossy leaves.

I don't know what is this flower, but it is a lovely picture. I know it is not easy to take some photos about flowers and plants in winter. People usually take photos about the snow. You gave us a surprise

Nice photo. I've been taking photos of the sunrise/sunset over here with my smartphone. But if it's cloudy, foggy, rainy, overcast, no photo op of the day.

I'm not someone who would put a picture of a flower on my wall but I'd buy any one of yours and hang it immediately.
