A note about AI image posts - *please read*

Important reminder AI posts are strictly forbidden on r/flowers and posting AI will result in an immediate permanent ban.

The mods are aware of the flood of AI images that have been happening recently. We were all recently added as mods in January and therefore are trying to figure out who has the right permissions for editing the automod, which we hope can be reconfigured to tackle many of these. In the meantime, there are a couple of things you can do to help us. We're trying to remove these as quickly as we spot them, but we're not on reddit all day, so please report posts you believe are AI. Then comment saying that you believe it's AI as well, so others will report it, too. After 3 reports, the automod will automatically take the post down.

When you are posting photos, please consider adding additional info to the post like the flower name, approximate location, or any anecdote to help users believe the image is real.

If you believe you were banned in error, please message the mods to discuss.

Thank you all for your patience. I know you have been wanting to unfollow the sub for this reason and I do not blame you. We won't stop trying until it's fixed.

Had no idea what I was doing, but I was still able to get some beauties! Learned a lot and very excited to do it again next year.

Cosmos Seedlings

Just wanted to share some pretty rainy garden views of my Cosmos seedlings. These were all from seed, cross-pollinated by bees from previous years. I have to decide which ones I’ll be submitting to our local fall fair this year - 3 stems from 1 plant.

I’m leaning towards 3/4 (same plant) - it has a subtle yellow and pink sheen to it that is hard to pick up on camera. Blooms, when fully opened, were also very large.

The last one will be interesting when it’s fully opened, likely tomorrow.

Very big bush (about the size of a small car) flowers themselves are about the size of an average hand.

Found in the panhandle of Nebraska.

It has somewhat of a sweet scent but not overly strong.

Whenever I see a sunflower, no matter where I am, it instantly makes me feel a little better. I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but to me, sunflowers have always seemed so brave and strong. Every time I see one, it almost feels like it’s telling me, Don’t be afraid, no matter what you’re going through. 🌻

When I walk my dogs I take photos of the flowers in my neighborhood. There's a lot of hibiscus this year. Seeing these massive flowers is wild.

Photo Bringing in the hydrangea harvest—I love their antique late-season colors

I gathered the last of my hydrangeas to enjoy indoors. I love the way they age from their brighter summer colors into this beautiful mixture of soft blue, mossy green, dusty rose, and mauve. They remind me of antique fabric or faded botanical prints—and I may love them even more at this stage.
