I'm team hydrangea, but I don't know if this is one or not. If you say it is, then it is!! Whatever genus it is, it's gorgeous. I love your coloring. Great choice of colors, I was a day late!

I will have to say I was in the Rhododendron camp but didn't really think about it. I was born and lived in Tasmania for the first 28 years of my life. It is the southern most state in Australia and Rhododendrons grow wild on the side of Mt Wellington in Hobart where I grew up. This image reminded me of them but all that aside Karen your card is yet another gorgeous effort, love, love, love everything about it.
Cheers

Shesh, I thought I'd commented on this when I first saw it! I remember smiling at the write up and really admiring the card! Must have been the other me who did it! Your dramatic intense colours are gorgeous! I love the placement of the sentiment and that lush bow! This is an eye catching beauty of a card!

Oh, Karen, you are such a joy and treasure! Whatever this flower is, it's GORGEOUS when you color it! It actually inspired me to do this week's color challenge! So thank you for that - especially adding the much-needed dessert! This is gorgeous, and I love all your cards. Your coloring is over the moon, and I sure want to get this set (once I get my wish list together!). Hugs, sweet friend, and thanks for all you do to make the color challenge a joy and fun!
