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!!

There was a glorious lassiandra in flower this morning on my way home from church. Actually I thought the garden at church was looking rather nice this morning too. Although I didn't get close enough to let you see it properly! I think that might be a pink azalea flowering away down there at the front of the garden while there is a lovely crepe myrtle there at the back. I managed to capture the morning sun shining on the white frangipani down the back one morning. This lovely yellow flower at tennis has almost finished flowering. And you might be able to find the pink frangipani up there! My strelitzias are still making a lovely display. And I was very surprised by this nerine (I call it) or tiger lily that was flowering away this week. It is a bulb that came from my Mum and Dad and has survived a lot to be still in my garden. The trouble is I think it might be the only one. Today's Flowers are on every Sunday night. Please click on the icon over there in the sidebar.
