Weekly Photo Challenge: All Time Favorites

Posted on June 5, 2018 by johnvic8

WordPress is calling to a halt its very popular Weekly Photo Challenge, inviting us to share our favorite photo. I could easily choose a dozen, but I think that is out of the spirit of the word “favorite.”

I have chosen this photograph of a Camellia japonica ‘Magnoliaeflora’ blossom. It represents for me the ultimate in form, color, and beauty that we gardeners can find in one of our favorite flowers.

It is a true disappointment that the Weekly Photo Challenge is ending. It has helped me see and understand people and their hopes and interests all over the world.  I wish all the contributors to this meme over the years a productive and peaceful life.

    Gorgeous! As a retired military spouse I’m finally planting flowers and seeing them come back the next year so I’ve really enjoyed your blog. Without the photo challenge I may never have found you so yes, I am also disappointed it’s going away. But….I will be glad it happened, as Dr. Seuss is fond of saying and I will continue to follow you! Thanks for being an inspiration!
