I showed Maria some colorful and bright flower photos I took today, and she said, “This is neat; these are happy flowers.”

The bulb lit up in my head. Maria has lots of good ideas. I’m launching a new feature for the Spring and Summer: Happy Flowers.

(Above, my new poppy plant.)

Happy flowers make us happy. Beautiful flowers make us smile. There is a difference.  Happy flowers are boisterous and colorful; they have attitude, grab us, and won’t let go.

Flowers already brighten our lives and our days, but happy flowers are in a unique category. They are bright and colorful and cheerful in a particular way. I’m posting five happy flower pictures here today. And I hope to make this a regular thing on the blog.

Not all flowers are happy flowers. I’ll have fun sorting it out. The photos were taken with my Leica Sl2-S, and my Iphone Pro Max13.

I hope they make you as happy as they make me.

This happy flower is bursting at the seams. Happy flowers make us happy; they make us smile; they brighten our souls. Beautiful flowers are wonderful to look at, but they are different.

This happy flower reeks of mystery and romance.

Last but not least, happy baby flowers in their own small garden bed.
