Enjoy your walk through some of the gardens at Buderim...a nice place to be at this time of year! I hope you have a great Easter weekend, for those of you who celebrate it. God Bless you this week!

May God Bless you this week.

A series of the latest blooms, taken mainly on a walk down to the shop...this wonderful magnolia in flower... the peach blossom in flower out at tennis last week.. and interesting plant I discovered, (above) but know not what it is... irises must be one of my favorites a quick trip over to an orchid show at the Botanic Gardens a week ago... some natives from my walk to the shops...I can never remember of they are grevillea or bottlebrush...or is a bottlebrush the same as a grevillea anyway? a poinsettia of the pink variety, taken from underneath and of course the NZ Christmas bush again...I think this has featured here before...grows fairly prolifically at the beach (Sunshine Coast)...and in New Zealand too I presume!

A beautiful iris in Queens Park, Toowoomba The twins assure me that these cups are purple... All these (mainly) flowers, I have thought of as purple...when I see them all together like this, I think I need to readjust my color chart! these purple flowers were in the garden in Toowoomba now these magnolias were so outstanding, how could I call them pink and not purple? do you think the sunset was purple here? and now this flower looks more pink than people, but they do have they purple tips on the ends... My orchids are all blooming at the moment...

some images form around the church in Toowoomba...the Spring flowers have decided to arrive a little early, what a treat for us all and the bride...I do hope there are some left in a month's time for the Carnival of Flowers they have here! a lovely magnolia tree in the yard beside the church.... lovely arrangment in the church.... flowers being prepared for the tables at the wedding breakfast.... some images from the garden.... and inside.....an african violet.... and some lovely nasturtiums that were cheery at our front door.... the dracaena in my garden is flowering....I don't think I have ever seen it flower before...maybe it has been the long drought that prompted it.... and a final shot from the conservatory flowers at the wedding breakfast...
