Friday Faves #15 - Flower

Friday Fave #15 - Favorite flower

I have to say that I really love all types of flowers...there aren't any that I dislike. God created so much beauty in this world for us to enjoy! My husband is always bringing fresh flowers home to me - something he's done that I've always appreciated. He always tries to include carnations in the bunch too!

If I had to pick one flower that is my all-time favorite, it has to be the carnation. It's a simple, yet elegant flower. For some reason I just love the smell of fresh carnations!! When we went to Scotland on our honeymoon, one of the castle's we visited was Floors Castle. They had a ton of carnations growing in their gardens - it was absolutely gorgeous!!!

I also love taking macro photos of flowers...I took the photo above with the 'Friday Faves' logo on it, along with these carnation photos. I have to admit that these aren't the best shots I've taken...carnations are hard to photograph!! Some of my better photos are of roses, wisteria and sunflowers...all of which I absolutely love too.

The next time someone brings you flowers and there's a carnation in the bunch, smell the center of it and see how sweet they are!!
