Todays Flower's From NYC to Australia
Hi there..here are a selection of flowers for you , from New York City (later) to the flowers I have come across here at home since my touchdown yesterday morning. I am sorry if things are not of a high quality. Operating under difficulties here...jet lag, plus an old desktop computer, since I left the power cord to the laptop in NYC...ha...aren't I clever? I wonder how long it will take in the post. Fortunately I had just enough battery left to transfer most of my photos to my little external hard drive! Whew!First of all a view of the fall leaves, above...it is actually officially winter here, and that is about all the fall colors you will get to see...an occasional Japanese maple or two...
the wattle was looking very pretty when I went to church this morning....
some new gum leaves I couldn't resist photographing....
bougainvillea....
and the pretty poinsettias next door...it is winter here now, so they are flowering now, which means they are nowhere to be seen at Christmas in the heat of our summer!
And back to the last few days in New York, at Inwood. I had a last stroll around the historic Dyckman House to see what was in flower...their garden is truly remarkable...always something new in flower!
lovely roses....
daylilies.....
sweet peas....
and a window box from somewhere, at Inwood....
unsure of what this pretty flower was...
the lavender beds were very pretty.....
and a last daylily for you....

Love the Wattle...
Lovely - all of them.
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.
Have a wonderful day,

Glad you got there safely. It must be strange but nice to be back.
Karen..it has been very interesting to travel between seasons...and to enjoy the wonderful spring in NY ...and to arrive home in winter instead of spring summer as I normally would do. I think I am a colder weather person!
Carletta..thank you. I feel it is not up to my usual standard. Even though that is not as good as some..!
i beati...yes, the lavender beds were delightful! It sounds like you like them too!
Leora...it has been fun to be able to share them with you!
SquirrelQueen...yes, the bougainvillea is one of my favorites, though that is a terrible photo!
Thumbelina..thanks for all that..yes, it was a bit of an effort , but when you are awake with the jet lag..well why not..It is strange and nice to be back. Especially dealing with a green pool to be resuscitated!!
Sniffles and Smiles. Your blog has been a great one this year, and your comments amazingingly sincere and regular. So we wil miss you, but I do understand. I look forward to your return to blogland. It is nice to be on terra firma after being a sardine in a can for 24 hours. Have I already said that?
Wow you're quite a globe trekker aren't you? From New York to Australia...
So even though it's winter you've still got a fairly mild climate where you live. It was the bougainvillea and poinsettia gave it away. Beautiful photos!
You know, all these years I've just sort of left the Christmas poinsettias inside to wither away and die a slow painful death, but this year I kept mine alive until spring, set it outside, and it is flourishing! It's absolutely gorgeous, looks much like your picture. Half green, half red but most importantly thriving and not withered/crispy brown.
I hope your cord shows up soon in the mail, and that you are able to get some rest from all your traveling.
Have a great week.
Grace P...yes, still a mild climate..tho it can and does get to zero overnight sometimes here...not for all that long though...
cbw...good to have you visit! Nice to hear that you have a poinsettia from Christmas ...good on you! Yes, I am waiting on that power cord, (Daughter is off to post it now as I sit here at 5am with the jet lag again). I feel an extension to myself has been cut off without my little laptop. But I am glad I have most of my photos though.
Island Ranbles...yes, it has been fun to travel from here to there and to experience the differences..just wish it weren't such a long flight!
Maria Berg...aha..yes, of course they would have to use greenhouses...but they are so colorful aren't they at Christmas there!
Regina..glad you enjoyed the flowers...please visit again!
