It's the dog days of August here - hot, humid, and stormy. There are still flowers hanging around, I'm not quite sure how or what kind they are, but they are pretty! Those flowers are the inspiration for this forum game. Lots of pretty flowers to find!

In my creation below, there are a certain number of flowers. Your job is to guess how many flowers there are! We will have a 30 minute chat on Saturday at 6pm EDT/ 3pm PDT to reveal the winner! You do NOT need to be present at the chat to win.

The Rules and Info:
  1. 1 guess per person. You may want to PM it to me (bestcee) to keep it secret, but your guess will count if you post it below.
  2. All flowers have some part of them visible. There are none hidden completely.
  3. Some flowers may be double layered because that's how they were created by the designer. (Hint/Example: The maroon one with the white layer and blue center in the top of the page is 1 flower).
  4. I did not layer any flowers on top of each other to create the look of the maroon flower mentioned above. I'm not that devious...well, at least today. :thumbsups
  5. The background is a white paper.
  6. The winner is the person who's guess is the closest to the actual number. If more than one person guesses the correct number, or there is a tie in who is closest, there will be a random draw of those people to get the winner.
  7. All guesses must be received by Saturday, August 28, 2021 3pm EDT/12pm PDT.

i'm throwing a guess in your PM box too - such a fun idea and i hope you had fun throwing everything from your stash on this page!
 
I sent my guess this afternoon! I even had my son double-check me. Can't wait for the big reveal!
 
Still time to guess!

If you don't want to count, you can always throw out a guess.
 
I've updated the guess list to here! If you sent me a guess, and I don't have your name listed - holler at me!

Let's add some flowers. 30 will do:

Oh. It still looks really empty. Let's add 30 more for a total of 60:

Still lots of space! How about another 30 for a total of 90.

Still some space. Let's go to 100. I had a few guesses under 100. That was too few!

I had a 102 guess. And I thought that would win. Then 103. But nope!
Two people guessed exactly 105! @umyesh and @mcurtt

Monica and Marilyn! Did you count each flower? Or just guess?
I shuffled up their names and the winner is Marilyn @mcurtt! Congratulations! Check your PM's.

Thanks everyone for playing! I know it was tricky to see if it was one flower or a layered flower.

105 was the final correct answer!
​
What shall we play next time?
 
I just barely saw my reminder and signed in but everyone was gone. So sorry I missed the live reveal! I opened the image on my ipad and numbered each flower to 105 :) congratulations Marilyn!
 
Thanks @bestcee!!! I actually did count them, I numbered each flower, similar to what Monica @umyesh did, but I pulled it over into Photoshop on my laptop. I still thought that I might have double counted something. The stacked flowers were tricky.

And I apologized in my PM to you for not attending. Got caught up in working on a layout...

True story... I went to a bridal shower in June. They had a game where you had to guess the number of lemon drops in a jar. I guessed 678. There were 674 and apparently you couldn't go over. My MIL looked at me with an open mouth when I told her what my count was. LOL!
