the week's flowers

I hadn't taken many flower photos during the week, apart from the weeds in the previous post. These I found today....and I am sorry I don't know what this red flower is called. But whatever it is called, they were very fine specimens. So pretty.
a lovely lassiandra on my way home from church this morning
and a beautiful flowering peach was flowering beautifully away down in the back yard at church, on my way down to the car...this will be my second spring this year! I was in New York City for my first northern hemisphere spring time, in March April May.
And now it is only August, and there are signs of spring here in SE Queensland. I can enjoy it all over again.
These grevillea flowers...or is this the calistemon, I think, were flowering right at the top of my tree! I need a better close up lens!!

Lovely flowers..
The red flowers could be from a bottle brush plant??
- Cheers.

Beautiful flowers in your neighborhood Annie and I'm so glad you share them with all of us!

guild-rez ... not quite what I would call a bottle brush here really...the leaves are quite different
will have to look it up and get the name!
Such beautiful flowers. I wondered if the red ones were the bottle brush! A

An exquisite series of delicate blooms, thanks for sharing Annie and have a great week.
Those red flowers in the first picture are simply spectacular.

So, my friend, are your kind words on a day which was particularly trying for me, and a situation which will likely get worse. One of these days I'll share the whole story, but rest assured your positive words mean so much to me.

Next year, we will schedule Blog Fest around your trip to the U.S. There is no doubt in my mind you'd have come right in, sat right down, and chatted away as if we all had been friends for centuries. That's what it felt like with these people I'd never really met before.

Anyway, now I'm taking up all your real estate, but just know that I truly appreciate all your words and hope you are feeling better and playing tennis soon. Thanks much.

Such lovely spring flowers. I enjoyed visiting your blog. Thank you for the inspiration of Ps. 103 also! Just when I needed the encouragement.
Happy day!

Your flowers are very beautiful. I love those red flowers. They are like little celebrations unto themselves.

The red ones look so puffy like little cotton balls... they make me think that they tickle like feathers when you put them near your cheeks...

I love the purple flowers... purple is my favorite colors!

Annie ~ Your flowers are stunning. Wonderful captures.
Lovely flowers. The red one looks like a Calliandra haematocephala aka "Pink Powderpuff" - I took some photos of them when I was in Port Douglas last year.
