A very quick post today:
Sometimes you are tired, cranky, preoccupied and general bad company (Sorry, S!), but then the unexpected beauty of an unidentified flower has the power to make you smile.
Be sure to keep that image of beauty close to your heart. You can always use that extra smile.

Such a gorgeous flower! 🙂
It is! 😉
Pure and bright! This is ranunculus, B! Thank you for posting and reminding of the pretty little things in life!
Thanks for confirming that, I was not entirely sure.
I often need to remind myself, Lyubov, and I’m always glad when I do!
You made me smile, Birgit. Thank you!
That smile turns out to be contagious… wonderful! ❤
You are proving that beauty really can lift the spirit. What a gorgeous flower.
I’m still struggling with the (inherited) notion that beauty equals vanity and that it is frivolous and bad. But we need beauty and that is not a bad thing at all.
What a beautiful image to keep in my mind as I start my day….thanks, B!!!!
Have a great day, brie!
you too 😀 !!!
Wow, is that a real flower, or a silk one? It’s stunning. A smile inducer, for sure.
It’s real! Lyubov said it is a ranunculus flower.
So glad you shared that beautiful flower, Birgit. Wishing you a lovely day.
Glad you liked it, Jim. A fabulous day to you too.
Dearest B
So true!
After having Spring delayed so long, all the flowers of London seem intent to come into bloom at once. Suddenly we are in a riot of colour and The Dandy’s heart sings for the joy of it.
Rain forecast for tomorrow, I predict a change of mood too.
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
London in spring is too gorgeous, enjoy it dear Dandy! Even when it rains… 🙂
Oh, that’s just too pretty! But you inspired me to take and post some pics of my garden’s flowers on my own blog this weekend! You enabler, you….
Great! I look forward to seeing these pictures, Marla! 🙂
Have a great weekend.
A much prettier flower than its name, indeed!
True, the name is not flattering. 🙂
