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!

Very nice photos with great colors and contrasts, and the Astro flower has a lovely shade of blue, very cute!
I agree too, they are really beautiful pictures in every aspect possible, contrast, structure, lightening ….etc =)
WOW – all of these are just gorgeous!!! The one with the wagon wheel might be my favorite, but it sure is hard to choose
Thank you to everyone who has commented on my photos!
