How's your flowers, Pops?

[burglar]

Yes, very pretty burglar.
Whats that last photo? Thats a nice flower.

My backyard smells of Orange Blossom, very nice : )-- the bees have been having a field day.

It's a cactus.
Fist sized, ball shaped and fluted!
Just opened yesterday.

The first time I have seen it in flower!



I love gardening!!

The cactus flower is gorgeous, burglar. At first I thought it looked like a water lily.

I can see you love gardening, burglar, and good on you.
I enjoy it too.

That cactus flower is beautiful.
I had too many cactus injuries as a child that I avoid the plant.

A friend just gave me a bucket of bulbs yesterday, she said it was a mixture of everything, this will be interesting.
She knows I love colour : )

Photos of your gardens, anyone? I love seeing other people's gardens ...

I took my photos with a mobile phone,
emailed them to a PC,
saved them to the desktop,
and presto!

If I can do it,
anyone can!

Nice flowers everyone here's a pic of my roundabout garden

 

[Julia]

Nice, waza. What are the tall trees, the trunks of which we can see?

I think they're flooded gum I believe my grandfather planted them many years ago...

Hi waza,
A beautiful foliage garden!





On the verge!
My neighbour informs me that these are Primroses!
Most delicate, they open at twilight and stay open overnight.
They wither by noon.

I always thought they were endemic.
Shows what thought does!

After watching Kingdom of Plants,
I think these little beauties might be pollinated by moths!

My neighbour informs me that these are Primroses!

They're known as weeds here.

Link to photo of English primrose, very similar to polyanthus.

(Sorry, did try to post the photo but failed due to technical incompetence.)

 

[Julia]

Just trying again with the photograph.

Only trouble is flowers only last for about a week

On the left of the tree ochid, .... a hippeastrum or two, if I'm not very much mistaken!

I admire your photography which is just as impressive as the flowers IMO.

My photography is only impressive because of the flowers,
but I thank you for the compliment.


It's the photos I reject ...

The tree to the left of the tree orchid ... is it a frangipani?

Yes I outdid myself there and with an iPhone too.

The others have too much glare, too white......
