In my Week of Flowers 2020 (I think this will have to become an annual event!) I have found some photos of some gorgeous pink flowers to share.

I hope you are having a good week, and a lovely Thanksgiving if you are in the U.S.
If you would like to join me in my Week of Flowers, please do! We really can brighten these grey days by sharing our favourite and most colourful flowers from our 2020 gardens. ☀️ Just leave a link to your conribution in the comments below so that we can find your post. Thanks!
Words and Herbs 
We have got up to fog and a ground frost. So lovely to see your flowers Cathy. My day 5 is here https://digwithdorris.wordpress.com
Same here Dorris. A grey day with little promise of sunshine and hovering around zero all day. But we have lovely flowers to distract us! 😃🤗😃
And such an assortment is coming through
Your postings have been such a boon to this dreary weather we have been having lately. Thank you so much.
Hello Lisa. I am so glad they have been of benefit to you too. It is important to focus on light and colour at this time of year. 😃 Have a good day!

I love all shades of pink in the garden, and you have some beauties here, Cathy. What is the name of the flower in the last photo? It’s gorgeous!
I have added some flower photos today too ~ https://homelifeonline.wordpress.com/2020/11/26/a-week-of-flowers-day-5/
Hi Joanne, lovely you could join us again today. That last flower is a Hibiscus, but exactly what sort I can’t say as it was in a garden I visited in September. 😃 Have a wonderful day!
These pink flowers are lovely, Cathy. The asters are real standouts. I also enjoyed V. bonariensis and cleome this year. Insects seem to like them as well. Thanks for hosting.
I can’t believe I did it again. Here is the link for my contribution:

I find the insects just adore the asters and there were plenty of butterflies on these flowers too. 😃 Was a bit lazy with photographing them this year… Have a lovely day Susie!
That surprises me that it’s a hibiscus! It’s nothing like any I have seen. I have a hibiscus hedge in my pool area and the flowers have layered petals, they are quite complex when I think about it. It just goes to show how diverse flowers can be. 🙂
And sorry, my reply ended up on the wrong comment!
I think I have found out exactly which Hibiscus it is; H. moscheutos ‘Carousel’. It likes a damp spot and was growing right on the edge of a pond. It must be pretty hardy as it has been there several years now. 😃
Hello again! Love your bright pinks this morning, Cathy. It’s a busy, festive day here. A good way to beat those blues and focus on all we have to be thankful for! My flowers for today: https://gardensatcoppertop.com/2020/11/26/day-5-a-week-of-flowers/
Keeping focussed is important these days. Hope you are having a wonderful celebration March!

Lovely share, Cathy! The asters are so nice. It is a foggy, rainy day here today…rather dull, so these flowers do provide a lot of cheer – thanks! https://wp.me/p3O3z4-2E9
And here it has been freezing fog with the frost building up gradually on the grasses and trees. Pretty… from indoors! ❄️
Happy Thanksgiving all! http://robertsnapspot.com/2020/11/26/a-week-of-flowers-day-5/
Thanks Robert. Good to see you joining in again! 😃
Hi Cathy, I thought that was a pink Hibiscus, gorgeous! Trying to grow VB and Cleome this year, no luck so far. Here is my post https://theshrubqueen.com/2020/11/26/a-week-in-flowers-thursday/
That’s a shame. Can you buy small plants at nurseries? Good luck if you resow! 🌱
V. bonariensis yes. I have never seen Cleome here. I thought the Verbena would be easy to grow!?
I have never tried growing V. bonariensis from seed. Small plants in spring work best for me as it also doesn’t set seed much nor does it always survive over winter.
All pretty in pink Cathy. I just wish that cleomes were not as spiny as they are as they are so beautiful. I have been enjoying this week’s veritable feast of flowers. My flower for today is here : https://greentapestry.blogspot.com/2020/11/a-week-of-flowers-day-5.html
The spininess of the Cleomes is a problem and I must say the smell too. I always forget how stinky they can be! I am enjoying all these lovely flowery posts too Anna. Thanks for joining in! xx
Cathy your pink flowers enchant me and enliven this cold and rainy day. Asters and Hibiscus are divine, I love them. My link https://margaritaexam141.wordpress.com/2020/11/26/flowers-day-five/ Take care. Very affectionate greetings from Margarita 😘😀
Thank you Margarita! It was a cold and frosty day here and thoughts of warm days and colourful flowers seem so distant! All the best. xx

Hi Cathy – a bit late today visiting! Your pinks are lovely – so warming! Loved the cleome (?) at the top. Yes – it would be lovely to make this annual event towards the end of the year. It’s done me so much good. Here’s mine today – https://gardendreamingatchatillon.wordpress.com/2020/11/25/a-week-of-flowers-day-5/
Thanks Cathy! It is doing me the world of good too. A wonderful distraction during these grey days. We had freezing fog all day today! That is Cleome Violet Queen which I grew along with White Queen. And I was so impressed that I am growing them both again next year and have also got seed for the deeper pink one, Cherry Queen. 😃 I collected plenty of seeds if you would like to me to send you some? 🌱
Thanks SO much, Cathy! I would LOVEe some seed. I’m not quite sure how I would give you my address however? You are probably more used to this than me. I do hope your fog lifts tomorrow and that you get our afternoon sunshine (we’ve had freezing fog in the morning). Have a lovely evening!
Send me an email with your address. 😃
Wow, that hibiscus is a vibrant pink! I do love asters too. Great selection, Cathy. I am doing pink today too: https://frogenddweller.wordpress.com/2020/11/26/a-week-of-flowers-day-5-26-11-2020/
Thanks Allison. I don’t grow hibiscus myself as they are such messy shrubs, but I do love the flowers! (This one was in a garden I visited in September).
It’s a grey day here as well although the sun tried a little in the morning and that was nice to see. Actually it’s the perfect day for some bright pink, so thanks! Just what these dark days of the year needed 🙂
We need all the colour we can get in November!😉
Yes, an annual event sounds a great idea! Good to see your pinks in this post, something we will be short of for a little while (other than V. bodnantense Dawn, I suppose, which is a wishy washy pink!). I realise I have not been adding links to my posts…sorry!
Pink is so summery, isn’t it. And seems one of the favourite colours for butterflies and bees too! 😉
Indeed 😊
