Last week we looked at the top posts of 2022 in terms of visitors. It was a chance for me to know what are your favorite posts. 2 days later I shared My Favorite Nature Photos for 2022. In the past I shared a mix of nature and flowers posts in one post, but there were too many photos this year. Today’s review includes both flowers in the garden and bouquets in the house from the last year.
Red Hibiscus & White Periwinkle
January Hibiscus
I loved taking photos of my new potted yellow tropical hibiscus.
January Flowers
I really like using a pretty mosaic template for a new view of flowers. This one from a year ago is a real favorite.

February Orchids
Thanks to my friend Beverly in south Florida, I shared her orchid photos.
Spring at Bok Gardens
I love azaleas!
Colorful Amaryllis Mosaics for Spring
Living in central Florida, I am limited to a few flowers that will grow and bloom in spring. Most northern bulbs require cold weather to bloom. Amaryllis is my favorite spring flower that grows here. I had great fun with mosaics in this post.

My birthday is in February and I love Orchids.
I hope you have a great birthday next month. I’m sending a little prayer that you receive orchids!
Gorgeous flowers Carol! And as I am not over Christmas decorating yet, I loved the poinsettias and your pretty deer centerpiece. I am in the middle of taking all our decorations down. It seems to me that the whole Christmas went way too fast this year. Enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for another lovely post.
I understand – decorating for Christmas can be a lot of work – especially when a few weeks later you have to take it all down. I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos.
Lovely flower photos ~ favorite is the tulip ~ Xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

late winter and early spring the grounds are so beautiful with flowering azaleas
…you had a fabulous floral years, I hope that 2023 is great too.
Bellas fotos,. Me encantan las flores. Te mando un beso.
Trees are bare here. Flowers are not blooming. Gray days but usually warm in Illinois this year so far. Enjoyed each and every blooming flowers you posted. Keep them coming.
All beautiful.
Love the gorgeous flowers, Carol.
Hugs and blessings!
wow! What a wonderful roundup! I love all these photos of beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing such a pretty post….
If I had to pick a favorite, it would be your Christmas deer with that beautiful poinsettia, which is such a lovely color. But those hibiscus and all the others just shine!
It’s one of my favorites too. Happy Weekend!
So many lovely, lovely blooms! I bet it was hard to pick just these few favorites.
yes it was very hard – thanks for dropping by
Your flower photos are beautiful. I think my favourite are the Orchids and Bok Gardens looks like a fantastic place to visit.
Wow, you took lots of great flower shots during the year. And unlike me you know what they are!!
Such beautiful flowers. Great photos.
These are really beautiful flowers, dear Carol. I like them all but especially love the ones in the bright colors!
All the best from Austria,
Traude

I’m glad I don’t have to pick one single favorite from all these beautiful flowers! Gorgeous images, all.
Thank you for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2023/01/shakshuka-love-this-dish.html
Your flower photos are gorgeous! I love the way the hibiscus looks against the teal blue bowl. Seeing those gardenias reminds me of how good they smell. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty.
thanks Allyson – have a great day.
I have never seen one of your flower photos that would not be a favorite and I can’t imagine how you chose the best. So beautiful every one. The salmon colored hibiscis maybe might be my first choice because I adore that color, but then there are the beautiful white ones and the spring flowers at Bok and ….. (in other words, adore them all!) Thanks for the lookback and I hope you have a wonderful year Carol. A visit here always makes me happy.
Your visits make me happy too. You’ve become a friend I love to visit and share with. Thanks for dropping by.
What a fab post and what a collection all so vibrant too 🙂
Have a hibiscustastic week ?
A beautiful series of wonderful flowers!
So many beautiful flowers. I love all the colours and I couldn’t pick which one I liked the best because they are all so beautiful. One of the things that I love the most about walking to and from work. Is the different types of flowers that I get to see in peoples front gardens.
You’re lucky your walk is so scenic!
Cute pictures of flowers.
Hi Carol,
Popping over from the Hearth and Soul blog link up. You’ve taken some lovely pictures. The Bok Gardens place looks amazing!
Glad I found your blog 🙂
It’s a pleasure to meet you Georgina – thanks for the visit!
What an incredible collection of gorgeous flowers. I enjoyed your posts of 2022. Nice to see all these again.
thanks for the sweet comment Shiju – I’m looking forward to your bird photos this year.
What beautiful photos! Periwinkles have always been some of my favorites!
Wow! Thank you for making the effort to share so much beauty.
Beautiful flowers, the vertical floral arrangement is a show stealer of your post. I love hibiscus and peonies. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
