Today's Flowers: Winter flowers - Dried and frozen

I put dried flowers in front of the fireplace but decided they might get too dry so didn't leave them there long after I lit the fire.

The camellia blossom was frozen one night and soon dropped off but I was taken by how the center retained its color.

Lovely pictures.
Happy New Year,

I really believe that there are things that nobody would see,
if I didn't photograph them.

Fantastic rose, I love how the colors change from the center to outside. It seems to glow. Great job!

Love the photo of the dried flowers in front of the fireplace. Last year, the buds on one of my camellias froze but stayed red. Have a happy New Year!
