Lake Ontario - I don’t live that far from the lake. It’s literally a 10 minute drive away. I don’t always get to go. It was chilly out today. But still as beautiful as ever!

I feel like I took a lot of petals off the flower but the flower still looked pretty full!! 🤣

Cut the stems short because I couldn’t bear to cut the buds by cutting longer ones. 🤣

Fresh flowers in a mason jar - cosmo, lisianthus, dahlia, zinnia - picked from the farm. ❤️

I went flower picking at Gracemir Flower Farm in Milton, Ontario.

My White and Red carnation photoset of my enamels pins. :-D I’m pretty sure these different types of carnations have their own variant name but I’ve tried looking and I am still not sure.

I would really like to participate! I’m just super nervous if I’ll be able to do it!!! T_T

I couldn’t bear to just toss the flower. I had the carnation for over a week before I used it for the photoshoot. Very surprised I was able to keep it alive but I did trim the stem every couple of days and renewed the water with plant food. This colour was too beautiful.
