I woke early this morning, so took the opportunity to go out for an early morning walk...and took my camera for a change. I was so delighted that these lorikeets were perched in this gorgeous tree in the early morning light! a quiet moment in the garden... bougainvillea... hippeastrums.... the jacarandas are out already..that is always a surprise... hibiscus.... I just love the colorful lorikeets.... delicate gerberas.... and the last of the orchids...are just hanging on for a little bit longer.

I noticed the morning light shining through the hibiscus in the front garden this morning, above.. and most of these flowers are photos from gardens around here that I took on my morning walk the other day...azaleas above...a little early (it is still winter here) gerberas were lovely... was surprised to find a pineapple flowering outside the library when I went over to the Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens, on the western outskirts of Brisbane .... a lovely purple rose.... and this strange flower on quite a large bush...Bixa orellana some very pretty canna lilies... and begonias...all colors! flowers on a paperbark tree..... camellias...very lovely... above, a lassiandra, I think.... a Strelitzia (or Bird of Paradise) a healthy looking poinsettia.... a pink hibiscus.... some purple lantana, yellow orange and red hibiscus.... a very pretty golden bougainvillea..... and a good shot of a bauhinia....
