Heart of an Orchid: Flower of the Day, Dec 10, 2017
To me, this looks like a woman in robes with her arms up, standing on the back of a flying dove. Her face gleams white under her cowl and her yellow heart is exposed

Squash Blossom: Flower (and Poem) of the Day, Dec 7, 2017
Squash Blossom
Hard to herd and hard to wrangle,
growing in a clustered tangle
here beside my kitchen stoop,
good as fritters or in soup.
Squash blooms don’t merely do their duty
as a thing of sun-filled beauty.
Their life as flowers fades in haste.
Best to enjoy them as a taste!
(Or, if at growing things you’re feckless,
just enjoy them as a necklace!)

Passionflower: Flower of the Day, Dec 6, 2017
This passionflower is the major element of a mural by Lori Truly on the front of the Machima vegan restaurat in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico. I’m not a vegan, but I go there because it is one of the best restaurants in town.
Here is the rest of the mural:
