TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ 29 Some Autumn Flowers

All photos enlarge, just click on the photo and enjoy!



The lilybowl stands on a pine stump that is the reason
for all the golden mushrooms that thrive on rotting
wood, perfect colour to set off the last Petunias.



CYMBIDIUM 'Golden Mile' brightening the shade house



a golden BANKSIA, flowering in the bush in NSW



and a late, perfect 'Charles Austin' Rose in the garden.
All these are historical photos from two years ago
before the worst of the drought.

Thanks to Luiz Santilli Jr. and his diligent team, we
can all join in with this wonderful meme.

All your flower captures are wonderful. Sure wish they were there again this year. I really like the lilly bowl and mushrooms. Are they edible?

sorry about the drought, we have come off a good winter with 100 inches of snow, so that our forest is temporarily lush and green. Thank you for your visit on a Skywatch Friday.... you have a beautiful blog!

You have a most wonderful blog. I was brought here by my first posting with Today's Flowers and thought I'd return your visit and compliment. You are taking great photos... good composition and subject and your text is meaningful and instructive and poetic. The wide range of subjects from the native parrots (oh, we miss our Zero!) to the hops ovens, the seasonal changes of the rivers and flower and sky shots are all reverently handled. Okay, I'm gushing a bit. I'll finish by just saying lovely and that if I may take your arm I'll be most happy to walk with you.
