A variety of vibrant colors. My personal collection.

Unfortunately, I'm far from a flower grower. I'll be honest, I've never even planted flowers. But I love them very much. The main thing is that they're alive, growing in the ground. I don't understand all those flower bouquets you buy in stores and give to women; they'll die right before your eyes. It's a sad sight.

I have a special relationship with flowers. I photograph them. Sometimes I see a flower, and its beauty takes my breath away! And to preserve these wonderful impressions, I instantly "freeze" the moment with a click of the camera. And then these photos fly to my desktop as a background.

In this article, I want to share my sense of beauty with you. I don't know most of the flowers, and I'd be grateful if readers could share their names in the comments.

The first flower that impresses with its brightness and lushness is the peony. Bushes of these flowers are a delight to the eye! They are often planted in our front gardens, and they come in a variety of colors: red, pink, white, and purple.

The next flower is the well-known lilac. Although it often grows wild and requires little care, its beauty and fragrance captivate me. I always want to pick a few sprigs for my home, so that the scent can be carried around with me. But I always stop myself—I wrote why above.

The only flowers I allow to be torn are dandelions. More accurately, I've had to get used to their torn state, since my children run around the meadows like a herd in the spring, plucking all the dandelions. I've tried to lecture them about "flowers hurt too...," but they don't seem to care.

The next beautiful flowers that I simply adore are lilies. They are simply magnificent! And their scent is simply wonderful! Thank goodness I'm not allergic to them, otherwise the flower is quite irritating.

This isn't a flower, it's a tree. A rose tree. I don't know what it's called, but it's simply magical. The first time I saw it, I couldn't believe my eyes! I've never seen such a strange thing in our Samara region. Our summers are hot (25 to 45 degrees Celsius in places), and winters are frosty (-15 to -30 degrees Celsius). How such a miracle took root is a mystery.

And now for the classic—the chamomile! It seems like a simple flower, nothing special. And sometimes it even looks like a weed. But for me, this flower still has a special touch of simplicity and uniqueness.

Next in my collection are some bushy yellow flowers. Sorry, I don't know what they're called. But I couldn't pass them by either. They're absolutely beautiful! By the way, if you look closely, you can spot my son in this photo.

Everyone knows these spring flowers—lilies of the valley! Here they are, also picked. The kids couldn't resist. In this photo, we were out in the countryside in the spring, surrounded by a forest and a sea of ​​lilies of the valley.

Another interesting flower with a delicious name is irises. I prefer their classic varieties, like these:

As for the other flowers below, I'm completely unfamiliar. But they're just as beautiful and worthy of being included in this article:

And here's another tree branch. After flowering, some very small apples appear in place of the flowers. The tree is small, columnar-shaped.

That's it for my flower review. Let's discuss unknown flowers together!
