On The Way Out
Nesting beneath a greenery shrub by the school was this tiring looking flower. At first, I thought they were mum, but then they resembled the dahlia flowers that I've seen. Whatever they were, to stay on this long with an unpredictable weather was quite amazing!
Some of the flowers had touches of white petals as the top layer, while others were just totally concentrating on one shade. This color was another one of those mixed tones that I couldn't find a name for...
This will be the last flowers I would see outside until next summer! We missed the beautiful fall changing colors since we had cold, rain and chilly temperature.
Have a fun weekend..
Enjoy other entries at Mosaic Monday!
I love the variegated hues on this dahlia. It looks like a dahlia. Love how beautifully you have captured it, Icy.
ReplyDeleteThe purple color of the petals and the golden center are delightful. Stay warm and and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi, really beautiful and pleasant flower.. i loved it..
ReplyDeleteAt this time of the year every bloom is a miracle.
ReplyDeleteWhy until next summer? At the end of February, the snowdrops are peaking out of the snow.
Your mosaic looks lovely too, with one flower in the background.
What a surprising color to find at this time of the year. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth the shot at this time of year. It's still a gem because you've found it so late in the cold season.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower! It's such a beautiful color. It really is a shame that they will be gone until next summer.
ReplyDeleteThey may be wilted but the colour is still very lovely!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe this beautiful little flower is still blooming! So good to see this time of year.
ReplyDeleteEven as it fades it is still a very beautiful dahlia. I really like your collage Icy.
