I think I understand the challenge, but maybe not. These are macro pix. Does that count? They certainly make me notice the detail.
I may post again, details of buildings I think. But for the moment I give you the beautiful alstromeiria that i have in my bedroom.

These are really beautiful. I love them because they last well.
Me too! And they are gorgeous. All the different colours. My favourite is the white that is almost green, but I haven’t seen that lately. I have flame red ones in the sittingroom.
I am smiling as soon….a few more months yet here to wait for my flowers to bloom…these are beautiful, I love the colors:)
These are cut flowers indoors. Imported I am sure đŸ˜¦ so not very green. We do have them in the garden, but not for a while yet.
Alstromeiria lasts for two weeks at least ! A hint of spring!
Another fan of this flower I see. đŸ™‚ yes I am spoiled at the minute; I have alstroemerias, tulips and daffodils in vases, then my second lot of blue hyacinths flowering away, and the amaryllis.
Love your header too
Thanks. It is one of the photos I took the other week when I was staying with my Cousin in Ireland. Lovely springy lambs. At primary school we were next to a sheep farm, and we used to watch lambs being born, so they always have that spring resonance for me.
I have some that color on my kitchen table right now! They are so cheery, and I’ve had mine since Feb. 14. They’ll last a few more days…
I often find that I start out with a tall bunch, then the leaves start to go, I cut them down, put them in a new vase. Some of the flowers pass they best, more trimming, another vase, so by the time the last are dead, they have been through several transformations and feel like a lot more flowers. I had some before Christmas that lasted well into January.
I am interested that they have such a fan base!
Aren’t they lovely? I’ve never bought them but seeing yours I think I need some đŸ™‚
They are my favourites. I love the tiger stripes on such a gentle looking flower. In the garden they are leggy and can spread. We need ours to spread as they look much better in numbers. They last and last. I’ll see if I can find a picture of some of the greenish white ones. M&S are selling two bunches for £5.
Beautiful flowers!!! Great shots!!!

Thanks RV!!!
nice macro pics!
Thanks Frizztext. I have a feeling the challenge was more about a close up detail of something larger rather than macro, but where one is the same as the other becomes blurred.
I think it is a beautiful picture for lost in the details! I had to google these because of the name.. đŸ™‚ They looked like mini tiger lilies to me.. đŸ™‚ And guess what? Haha! So pretty Isobel. I need some flowers. If we ever get out of our driveway again, I’m buying some flowers and some split peas for soup! Hopefully today or tomorrow…..
Tiger lilies suits them so well! Wasn’t she a character in the Rupert Bear stories?
Are you still snowed in? Dry here, chilly, gloves needed but glimpses of blue sky and weak sun.
These are lovely photos even if they do not match the prompt.
It is springtime in every room you walk into. Soon, the outdoors will catch up!

Wonderful pictures of the Alstromeiria. Each little blossom is its own tiny faux orchid, and you captured it beautifully.
Thanks Marylin. I enjoyed my visit to your page. My mother also has dementia. I have written about her quite a bit here.
