SDMB Monthly Photo Competition - rolling discussion thread

Wow. That is gorgeous.

Just a small part of the yard. It’s probably 40 feet long by six feet wide, completely packed with tulips.

My kitchen window.
The jar of rose blossoms are the remnants of a bouquet of roses Mr. Roomie bought for Miss Roomie, just cuz yanno? Their story has a tiny bit of flamboyant romance to it.

I swear I had none amount of flowers in my yard two weeks ago except for some dying tulips and daffodils. Now look! There are also irises.

That looks like rose rootstock to me. They are pretty, and very, very hardy.

Edited because the SDMB delivered before I even asked! And hell yeah, they are hardy. It lived through first my hatred and then my neglect. And now I look forward to them producing many, many flowers all summer long.

Hi everyone, last call for photos… this month’s competition closes at 9pm my time (20 mins from now).

I’ve got an obscenely early start tomorrow morning, so I won’t have time to sort a poll out tonight - I’ll set it up over the weekend.

Thanks as always!

Shit, I missed it! Not that I was going to win.

It’s not about the winning it’s about I wanna see! And now I’ll never know what you would have posted.

Oh, but you will! I’ll post it in this thread, when I’m able. :grin:

I spaced out on this one, too.

Hence the user name…

I forgot to enter one a while back and I really don’t have any excuse! :grinning:

The poll is up over on the discussion thread.

I have to say, it’s another month of fantastic photos. It’s going to be hard to pick just three - I think I’ll mull it over for a bit.

Great work everyone!

My belated post: Flowering dyckia in my yard. I had a picture of the whole plant I liked better, but this one is more flower-centric.

Lovely!

Hi all, a reminder that you’ve got just over two hours before the vote closes.

Voting is closed… and for only the second time, we have a tie. Congratulations to @Chefguy and @aurora_maire :grinning:

That means that you get to jointly pick the next topic. Can you agree between yourselves, and let me know? Thanks, and congrats.

When will my check arrive?

I’m late to the game: what categories have been used thus far?

If you look up at the first post, there is a list of links to the contest threads, and those links all have the name of the month’s theme.

Thank you, @TwoCarrotSnowman! I am trying to win the contest so I can pick a non-subject theme.
