some flowers for you from Down Under
Ah, I finally got a photo of the view..as well as my spotty little jacaranda in bloom out there!
the hibiscus continues to bloom away out in the front garden...
I wish I could remember the name of this orange flower...it is on the tip of my tongue. I keep wanting to call it a bauhinia, but it isn't. But it grows everywhere...and oh so high..up through other trees if you let it!
and I noticed my big beautiful Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus) is flowering out on the footpath too! I thought someone had identified it as a gum tree, but it is not, although it is closely related apparently. [Thanks to Arija for jolting me into going over to the herbarium to have it identified].
what a pretty little flower. I presume the lorikeets will be back to decimate the tree sometime soon.
Hopefully I might be able to get a photo of the lorikeets as well maybe!
and of course my pretty pink flowering tree down the back yard is powering on...and oh so pretty. Makes it almost worth putting up with the warm weather!
I feel very bad because I still haven't found out the name of it!
These photos and flowers are for all who are not well at the moment, for whatever reason, and I am thinking of Kate and Michele specifically (see below), though I know there are many others of you not feeling so great ...I do hope you will be feeling better soon!
not to mention the jacarandas all over the city...
so so pretty. I'm sorry. I know they are an introduced species, and sometimes not too popular, but I just love the color...and shape...and flowers...and the purple carpet they leave on the ground!For links to Kate's (Country Girl) and Michele's (Rocky Mountain) wonderful photography please look in my sidebar....

I particularly like the hibiscus with the stamen shadows - very nice!
The jacarandas must be very beautiful to see. They look like they are very lush blooms.

Here's my first TF entry. Hope you can come by!
I really like the photo in the Skywatch post looking up into the tree with the pink flowers, too!!!
I beg to differ with what you call a gumtree. By the shape of both the leaves and flowers it appears not to be a Eucalypt but something else entirely.
Love your Jacarandas.
I have been in and out of hospitals trying to get my epilepsy under control. It's been rough... way too many gran mal seizures, trying so many different ways to control them. I tire easily. One day .. i will beat this.
