Flower wallpapers

Flowers are the easiest subject for a wallpaper, and also the hardest to get right, because a flat bouquet reads as a greeting card. The pictures here avoid that by working with light: a single bloom lit from behind, dew on petals, a dried arrangement against a dark wall, or a branch of blossom against a pale sky.

You will find close-up studies where one flower fills the frame and the petals turn into soft shapes, and wider scenes in which many small flowers repeat across the picture. The first kind suits a phone, where a single central subject looks strong. The second works across a wide monitor, and the repeated pattern helps icons blend in.

Colour is varied. Pinks, whites and creams give a light, spring-like feel, while deep reds, purples and near-black backgrounds are moodier and look striking on an OLED screen. Dried and faded flowers are included on purpose; their muted palette is easy to live with.

If you want leaves and stems rather than blooms, visit the botanical page. For anything with blossom on a tree, the nature and forest pages have related scenes.
