Today's Flowers

The wattles are blooming.
They were all along the sides of the roads as I drove to and from Toowoomba up the Great Dividing Range on the weekend.
Hopefully this close-up will show you the fluffy nature of the individual flowers.
My daughter-in law's colorful vege garden, was as lovely as any flower garden this weekend.
a purple daisy...why do I have so much trouble getting the true nature of blue or purple flowers when I photograph them?
a wonderful grevillea...I think...my contribution to my Australian natives for this week! My sister gets a bit dismayed at the non-native aspect of my Todays Flowers posts I think, from her comment last week! I am trying to encourage her to show her wonderful collection of native plants on her blog each week. It is a bit difficult I think when you are a busy woman and hold positions in the local (and beyond) native plant societies!! However we are working on a solution. Either I show some of her photos here, or help to update her blog each week. We will see how we go. For the moment.... we hope! I will have to direct you to some of their websites, I think! No doubt if she gets time to read this this week, she might give you a website to ponder in the comment section. Otherwise you can go to her blog in my sidebar, Menagerie, and enjoy photos of Native Australian plants from old, and encourage her to show you what is in flower each week! I am sure they will be much better than my contributions! I think most of her flowers will be in her sidebar perhaps.
more colorful chillies,, and bok choy from my daughter in law!


sorry I do not know the name of this yellow flower that I found out at the Brookfield Showgrounds last week. There is a similar tree at tennis so I will have to enquire as to the correct name for you.
And one of my hibiscus looking quite good in the rain last week!
