Title: Chat for weekly competition 20th to the 26th April of Wildflowers.
Post by: Oldboy on April 19, 2009, 09:07:53 PM
The subject for this weeks comp is ............ Wildflowers.

As it's Spring and new growth is shooting forth including Wildflowers, I thought it might make a interesting topic.

There should be plenty of Wildflowers at this time of year and can include those on trees like Apple Blossom or Hawthorn.  :tup:
Good luck all.
