Father's Day

the orchids continue to bloom in a spectacular fashion but the nasturtiums at the beach looked pretty good too (did you know the plural of nasturtium can also be nasturtia...funny, I didn't know that either...neither does google, I had to add it to my dictionary) anyway, the beach looked pretty good too while the pirate ship went past the kids had fun on the beach. It was just a little cool, with a fair breeze blowing, so no swimming can I still climb down through here... maybe it is easier to scoop sand this way someone else is having fun in her own way too but it is time to go home for a nap wonder what is in that box there ah, hello ...there you are Mr Four!

The week's flowers

Image
Some pretty flowers during the week, mainly up on the range in Toowoomba....petunias... jacarandas.... hibiscus.... cactus type flowers.... silky oak.... someone told me this is a yukka....but I googled yukka and I don't think it is now? Found another one out at tennis and they tell me it is a pony tail palm, a native of Mexico... The "Ponytail Palm" is really not a palm at all. It is a member of the Lilaceae (lily family), and is known as "elephant's foot" because of its bulbous base. It is native to the desert of Mexico and is somewhat of a curious interior landscaping plant. Likes full sun to part shade. lovely pretty white pink flowers above, and a protea.... and back down in the city, my dancing lady orchid.... azaleas..... irises.... above a yesterday today and tomorrow.... a double hibiscus....
