Snapdragons and red rose
Today I am posting two flowers in honor of being Guest Friend on Flowers for Today, where you can see lovely flowers of all kinds posted on blogs around the world.
Here are some snapdragons from my garden, “snapped” mid-October in a sunbreak after a rain, with my house in the background. I grew these from seed so I’m extra happy with them. If we get a mild winter they might even live over to next year.
Below the snaps is a red, red rose, taken in a Wallingford garden on the same day as the snapdragons.
This is also a post for Color Carnival, site of brilliant colors in photos.

Love your images. I linked to Today’s Flowers (incorrectly, just can’t get this part down). I love that you get to see worldwide bloggers’ work.

The perfect rose – and a gorgeous snapdragon – how cheering to see them at the start of winter. I am here for the first time this week – it is so nice to see all these beautiful flowers.
