Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We’re pretty sure flowers
Come in other colors too!
You guessed it, the theme for this week’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge is Flowers! Flowers not only help a plant reproduce, but since prehistoric times they’ve been admired and used by people for decoration, ritual, medicine, and even as food. Head out into the great outdoors for this challenge and find some beautiful (or unusual) flowers!
On Wednesday, February 6th (at 2pm EST, so be sure to submit your entries before that time, even at 1:59pm!) we’ll choose 1 judge’s choice winner, 5 runner ups, and 1 audience choice winner & share their entries here on LetsBeWild.com! Send your friends to this page to leave a comment-vote for your entry to win the audience choice award!
