I wouldn't say pink was one of my favourite colours, but you do find some lovely natural pinks in nature. The following are plants I saw when I was out on a walk recently.
But when I start looking at cultivated flowers the pinks look too bright and garish to my eye.
The last flower is a lily. I wish I hadn't noticed that. Lily the pink.
We'll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the pink, the pink, the pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case.
A song popular in the late 60s which you can hear if you really must. I don't advise it: you'll never be able to forget it.
Just look what it's done to me!

Me either....pink just isn't a good color for me as with you. But wowzers! The flowers are beautiful. I'll pass on the P B tho.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful and you made me laugh with lily the pink. I remember it well enough not to add to the sound track in my head. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that song was about Lydia Pinkham's solution.
ReplyDeletepink is one of my least favorite colors, and it's all over the place right now because of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
I agree with you about the cultivated vs wild color. The pepto bismol? ewwww
ReplyDeletePepto is what I think of when I see "pink", ick. Love the walk pictures though. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm pink not just a good color for you ya..
ReplyDeleteI have done mine:

happy weekend~
I love the Pepto Bismol on the spoon with it overflowing, running off the bottom of the spoon. I love how soothing Pepto Bismol is and I really like that you thought of it for this week's prompt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers from the walk..always amazing seeing them around!:)
ReplyDeleteMine is up here;
Photo Hunter:Pink
Happy Weekend!
Nice images.... including the pepto.
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful pink flowers! I like light pink, not the pepto though. :)
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful shots of Mother Nature!!
ReplyDeleteThank you once more for beautiful pictures. Wish you hadn't mentioned the song - can't get that tune out of my head.
ReplyDeleteI am certainly not a "pink" person either. You have some great nature shots here. And love the pepto!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend.
Hahaha, your Photo Hunt entry this week made me laugh and was very enjoyable. Re Pepto Bismol: I tend to prefer the chewable tablet version...maybe because it somehow seems less pink! ;b
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you for your kind comments. I'm glad you like the wild(ish) flowers and some of you even liked the Pepto Bismol:)
ReplyDeletejaneway, you are quite right, it is about Lydia Pinkham. It was just word association that got me there. I know what you mean about the pink everywhere. I just couldn't bring myself to join that.
Sorry to those of you who are now trying to forget Lily the Pink. I've made you suffer along with me :)
An excellent essay on pink - which I do not favor too.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of photos. I love the gentle pink hues of the wild flowers. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteI only like pink when it's part of nature, then it is a beautiful color. I loved all your photos. I do hate Pepto Bismo - it gives me a stomach ache!!! *S*
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend
L
*cack* Loved the ending and the song. I'm the same, pink is not up there for me.
ReplyDeleteThe Pepto Bismol is a different take.
ReplyDeleteGoing around Photo Hunt, my first time to see something pink aside from flowers and dresses.
Love the pix, but "Lily the Pink" is a definite mind-worm!
ReplyDeleteWow...great pics of flowers! Cant imagine there's so many pink in this world :)
ReplyDeleteThere are certainly some striking pinks in nature. Lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteThe Pepto...well, not so lovely!
Baby pinks are good enough for me but shocking pink? Fuschia pink, ack! these give me the shivers ( along with orange, I admit)
ReplyDeleteLovely natural pink flowers you've got there.
Have a great weekend :)
The flowers are beautiful. The Pepto, I have to say that was one of the first things that pooped in my head when I saw the theme pink hehe...
ReplyDeleteWow! I have never seen so many pink flowers in one place! There are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I remember Lily the Pink from when I was a kid, and it's now firmly stuck in my head! Great pink pics - and a very amusing post. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteNature's pinks are all beautiful colours. :) Those are lovely photos of the plants you saw while out for a walk. :)
ReplyDeleteMy pink photo.
Are the two last pictures for Halloween ?? brrrr ! I prefer by far the pink flowers !
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention Lily the Pink, as I was thinking about it in the shower the other day.
ReplyDeleteIt's ironic that Mike McGear's only hit song should have a two-chord accompaniment (tonic - dominant) like his brother Paul's biggest hit "Mull of Kintyre".
I suppose it shows that you can never underestimate the taste of the Great British Public. :-)
LOL you killed me with the pepto! :)
ReplyDeletehappy pink weekend!
perfect pics for the theme...thanks for the visit...happy sunday!
ReplyDeletethanks for your visit on my first entry!
ReplyDeletenice hunt you’ve got
If there were flowers like that in my neighborhood, I'd take walks more often!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pink flowers but eww.. on the Pepto. haha..
ReplyDeleteI love the pink choices you made.
ReplyDeletethese are all wonderful..I love that drip off the spoon on the bottom one
ReplyDeleteYour pink choices are beautiful! The pepto in a spoon is a great shot!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend :)
Such a lot of comments! Thank you all so much. It's suprising to me that there are quite so many of you who don't care for pink either.
ReplyDeleteDr Brown - thinking about it in the shower? Too Much Information:D
A.: Voici une blague alsacienne:
ReplyDelete"D'après les derniers recherches, il semble que 80% des femmes chantent quand elles sont sous la douche alors que 20% se masturbe.
Et tu sais ce qu'elles chantent?..."
Je n'ai aucune idée. Je ne sais pas si j'ose demander .... :) Je demanderai quand-même
ReplyDelete"Alors tu dois faire partie des 20%!"
ReplyDelete;-)
(They have an unusual sense of humour, those Alsatians!)
I should have guessed... :) Sounds like something out of ye olde rag mag.
ReplyDeleteLOL - you're too funny!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are gorgeous, and the pepto made me laugh. Great shot of it, even if it reminds us why pink isn't our favorite color! Thanks for the visit!
ReplyDeleteGreat flowers! Good choice for pink! Thnx for stopping at my site!
