Thanks to Peter 13 for hosting the previous challenge.
This weeks Challenge is called Flowers. I have checked the recent challenges and didn’t see flowers so I’m hoping it should be an easy one to contribute to. After many spring and summer months behind us surely we all have some flower pictures that we want to show off. So good, bad or ugly, now is your chance to show us your Flowers!
Submissions will close on Monday, the 3rd of August, at 10:00 CST.
Examples will follow in the next post.

Standard Rules
The host gives you a topic of interest and you get going. You post your image(s).
The host chooses the winner. The decision of the judge (the host) is final. The judge is not eligible. The winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner, and passes on the baton to that person.
Any picture you've taken is eligible regardless of time taken and camera.
You can do all the post processing you want. However, it is most helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo (because we like to know).
Feel free to comment on other contestant’s images. If you want someone to leave you a piece of constructive criticism, put an asterisk next to the title of the image.
Posting Guidelines
When posting your picture, change the Subject of your post to display your picture titles. This way, when someone comments (i.e. replies), it will refer specifically to you. If all entries read "Re: Mini-Challenge xxx"... it would be very boring to scan the list.
Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
You may enter up to 3 pictures, but try to put them within a single post. Please give a title to each photo - this makes it easier to differentiate when giving comments.
Please size your photo no bigger than around 1200 pixels on the longest dimension.
This is to let those with smaller monitors to see your image at full resolution.
Please limit the file size of your entries to conserve bandwidth.
As a show of courtesy, and to save bandwidth, please remove the original post when replying, so you don't bring back any previous photos.
