Sunny Afternoon

Yet another nice day when I left for class today at 9:30am, so I made a mental note to take pictures of the flowers along the road on my way back.
More for Mum to "oooh" and "aaah" over!

These few are commonly found along brick walls, ledges and flanking the gates to the large compounds found along Hensman Street:






Next, I found a yellow species of the bottle brushes, or at least I think so:


And there was another one of those red bottle brush trees with a ridiculous amount of flowers:


Also, along the street you'll find lots of hedges, complete with tiny little dots of colour courtesy of little flowers like these:


This little sapling is growing strong next to a sprinkler:


And this bunch was growing randomly out of nowhere amongst a row of purple flowers:


More purple ones to add to yesterday's collection:




This hibiscus is my Dad's ultimate adversary; it could literally kill him. It might come in handy if I decide I could do with some extra insurance money, right Dad? *snigger*


This is lavender in full bloom, and as u can see, the bees love them:


Pink chrysanthemums, I'm guessing:


It must be said, in spring, flowers can grow everywhere and anywhere, even through crevices in a driveway:


Here's a lonely bunch of fiery gerberas around the corner from my bus stand:


A lonely dandelion under a eucalyptus tree:


And unusual light lavender bells reaching out toward the sun:


Also, I've noticed the Australians like roses A LOT. For example, like in this garden round the corner from my place:


There are yellow roses:


White roses:




Pink & yellow-stained roses:


Pure pink ones:


Light peach roses:


Peachy pink ones:


Marbled roses!


Light red roses:


And, my all time favourite, scarlet roses:

Hope you like them Mum!
