Eliza Waters 
So pretty! Wonderful vibrant color.
Thank you, Laurie!
A beautiful macro, the flower delicate. ☺️
Thank you, John. I loved these while they lasted. 🙂
You’re welcome, Eliza. ☺️
Unfurling beauties.
Thank you, Anne. They were lovely while they lasted. 🙂
Love 🌸💕🌸
Thanks, Karen!
How beautiful! The vibrant color feels good on the eyes after the subtle colors of winter (we’ve had a lot of greys here lately).
Thank you, Robin! Cut flowers in the house in winter are a necessity to me for that reason. As important as a warm fire. 🙂
Lovely way to start the day. 🙂
Glad you liked them, Judy! 🌸
I remember these! 😉
Yes! Gone, but not forgotten!
I’ve never heard of Godetia, but I once had a pair of cacti I named Godot and Godette because I had to wait forever for them to bloom. Clearly, Godetia doesn’t have that issue!
Of the evening primrose family, native to the west coast up to Canada. These were such a lovely shade of coral, bought at the market.
So cheerful! Showing how happy it is to be in your care! Not familiar with Godetia…looked it up.
Thank you, Alice. An uncommon, florist cut flower, I haven’t seen them in years. These were a delight. They lasted about 10 days.
Such a pretty flower. It looks like you got it to bloom indoors. I had to look it up and I have seen it in catalogs, but never in person.
Thank you, Judy. They were cut flowers from Trader Joe’s market. They have marvelous selections at great prices. In NH, they have stores in Bedford, Nashua and Portsmouth. We love their store! Have you ever shopped at one?
Oops, that previous reply wasn’t for you! Thanks, AG, as I said, a cut flower from TJs! 🙂
so beautiful
Thank you, C!

It blooms inside for you?! I can barely get it to grow outside.
No, a gift from Trader Joe’s. 😉 I’m assuming they were grown in CA.
Oh wow. That is so beautiful!
Thank you, Dale. I loved the pale edging, so pretty!
I’m not familiar with this one, but it’s lovely!
Thank you, Debbie. Florists sell them, but they are not that common.
Lovely image of such pretty blossoms. I think I have only seen these in conservatories. It seems like they should attract butterflies. Do they? 😊
Thank you, Pepper. I assume so, they are a native flower of western North America in the evening primrose family. These didn’t have much scent, but they were very pretty!
What a gorgeous color and photo to brighten the day!🙂
Thank you, S! It was a beautiful color, not commonly seen in that shade of coral.
Not so silent, wonderful!
Thank you, Belinda! It is an eyeful. 🙂
Along the lines of a certain play, it looks like you were Waiting for Godetia.
🙂 Thanks, Steve.
I’m not familiar with this beauty. It’s a West Coast plant; that color!! Nice post for a chilly February day, Eliza!
Thank you, Tina. I’ve always seen them in pink, but this cultivar was a gorgeous coral. Loved it!
That’s quite a striking flower, Eliza. A lovely color to enjoy as we wait for stick season to come to a close. Is that a little snow I see through the window in the background? I’ve almost forgotten what it looks like. 🙂
Thanks, Steve. Yes, there’s still snow in the hilltowns. Sunny areas are melted, but it persists in the shadows. But my snowdrops next to the house are up!
Beautiful and bright image.Anita
Thank you, Anita.
The colours really brighten things up this dark morning 🙂
Glad to hear it, thanks, Maria!
This picture reminds me that flowers are the promise of life’s longing for itself. I think Khalil Gibran said exactly this
Yes! Thanks, Bill! 🙂
Rose of Sharon? Lovely!🌺
Looks like it, doesn’t it? Godetia is a wildflower in the NW US and Canada. Thanks for stopping by, Bela!
Cool! 💓
Very lovely shades of pink.
Thank you, Barbara.
Cool that you were able to find them, I love the colors and wish they liked our warm summers more!
Yes, I’ve not seen them in TJs before. I so appreciate their flowers in winter.
Lovely beauty. 😍💕✨
Thanks, flowers are a must have in winter (well, actually in all seasons)!
💐🤗💕✨
So nice to see pictures of godetia, I have grown them reliably from seed a few times but seen so few otherwise and they are so pretty.
They are a pretty flower, not all that common in markets. Do yours reseed themselves every year?
They haven’t really self seeded whenever I’ve had them, though I had grown them from seed in bigger pots only to use for summer bedding.
