Since I have no idea what the flowers below are (if you know, please share with me in the Comments section), I’ll focus on the colors. Flowers are beautiful sign of nature winking at us as we walk along. When you think how many different types of flowers there are out there, it’s pretty amazing. So many sizes, shapes, colors and characteristics for our enjoyment – here are a few for you to enjoy right now.
These small pink and purple flowers look like orchids but I’m sure they’re not. I love the color patterns on the petals.

The next flower blooms in clusters of small purple flowers. This is what one single cluster looks like.

The flowers below are small and red and are from a crown of thorns plant. If you look carefully, you’ll notice each flower has only two large petals. What an interesting design!

The last flower is bright blue (not a common color in flowers) and I love all the fuzz on the stems.

Beautiful flowers and colors, the first could be a kind of violet flower.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the burst of colors.
Very pretty flowers! The red one is a crown of thorns.
Thank you so much for your help! Now I can edit my post and add the name of that plant. You made my day. 🙂
Beautiful and unique blossoms.
Thank you very much for stopping by and taking the time to comment, Pat!
Wow – I’ve never seen any of those flowers before. I love the blue of that last one. Thanks for brightening the day!
You’re welcome! I love the many varieties and colors of blooms in the spring.
The blue one looks like an orchid, but if it is I’ve never seen one with those ‘hairy’ stems. Everything grows so well in California!
I think I took all these photos at the San Diego Botanic Garden (not completely sure) and they feature plants from various parts of the world. The Southern California weather (plus a lot of irrigation) sure helps to spot great flowers all year long.
We were in San Francisco last month, I was impressed with the variety of plants and flowers. It’s so green there!
They do get a good amount of rain up there, and they don’t leave us much. 🙂
I love all this beautiful color! That blue flower is just magnificent!
Thank you! I know there are some purple flowers out there but blue seems to be more rare.
