Carmine Gomphrena
Welcome to October! This carmine beauty is also growing in our neighbour’s farm that I have mentioned a few times lately – Seven Acres Farm. When I was wandering around a few weeks ago (all the way back in August, now that I think about it!!) I spotted these lovely small flowers that are like brilliant dots with their pale centres and outstretched arms – so pretty in the detail when you look closely at them. They remind me a bit of everlasting flowers I have posted in the past and I found out that these flowers last for a lot longer than the helichrysums and also dry well, retaining their colour for dried displays in the winter. Snow season is not here yet (we still have the glory of autumn to look forward to) but this seems a perfect way to preserve some of the summer colour to keep our spirits up during the cold months to come when we spend so much time indoors. Enjoy the splash of colour today, my friends. Along with a warm hug. You can click or tap the image above to view in large in the gallery directly now, a new development on my posts.

October 21 Gallery :
A gallery of flowers shared on a daily basis to cheer myself and hopefully you, the viewer too, during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic period. Posts from October 2021
What a big name for a little satellite-like bud of a flower, but it handles it with aplomb. With its defiant stance and bold colour, it stands out in a crowd, radiating self-assurance. Thank you, Ellie, for this positive start to the new month.
It is a positive start! Let’s see if I can maintain the positivity going forward as this little spray does. Thanks again, Janet.
Thank you very much Ellie. It certainly is a lovely splash of color. Bright and cheery. When you take a closer look it almost looks like another little bright star flower growing against amongst the petals. Thanks again for all your efforts. Hope you and Steve have a great day. Hugs to you both
It seems this photo bright USD the sunshine today! And u do agree with the tiny flower within the flower. So lovely. Thanks for looking, Linda. And for the nice comment.
