Hello Arija, questi fiori sono meravigliosi !
ReplyDeleteBuona domenica :-))
The Banksia looks like a cross between a pinecone and bottlebrush. I'm happily amazed you have flowers when so cold.
ReplyDeleteFar removed from my poor Eucalypt's remains used as garden seats, but a nice reminder os former glory!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and interesting flower! I've never seen one like it! Great photo as always! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead, Arija!

Beautiful winter flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful flower. I wish I could grow the plant here in Canada in the middle of winter:)
ReplyDelete- Cheers Gisela.
You have just introduced me to a new flower Arija. Thank you, I have never seen it before. Lovely shots, enjoyed the little seed in your gloved hand.

ReplyDeleteHappy new week.
Oh my dearest Arija, I have been away from your blog but not in mind. I see your colors peeking through gloved hands. I hope you are doing well. Tsup.
ReplyDeleteLove that last photo with the blue glove and the tiny flower.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting it's winter with you guys. I love those shots though, and especially the one with the glove on your hand.

I have never seen a Banksia, how beautiful! Fantastic photography, thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteHi, from Colorado! I didn't even know eucalyptus have flowers. And the seed pods are interesting-they look like something that could be put in a dried arrangement. Fun to hear you say your GLOVED hand when mine is so hot! ♥♫
ReplyDeleteI have not seen any flowers like these before..They're exotic and unique!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe Banksia is a new flower for me. I like that you show the seed pods at different stages too.
ReplyDeleteI never saw flowers like this before ... really great looking ... thank you for sharing ... greetings from Austria
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I always love banksia and can't resist taking pictures if I can see them. I love the picture with the eucalyptus flower on your frozen hand the most. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating entry, love how you were able to show three generations of the pods. Very nice~
ReplyDeletesweet winter flowers.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a woodworker and has a banksia pod in his collection of "exotic" woods (exotic to us not to you, LOL). So this is what the flower looks like!
ReplyDeleteI forgot it was winter there, but is it THAT cold that you have to wear gloves? Thet yellow flower is really interesting Arija, and the Parrots sure do make a mess.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week-end.

Thank you for these Winter Wonders, particulary for Banksia shots!
ReplyDeleteHard to imagine wearing gloves right now - the delights of opposite hemispheres!
ReplyDeleteIs the Banksia related to the Red-hot poker plant?
very cool looking, love the photos. Does your cat walk on a leash!?
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting flowers on the Banksia! I wonder why the birds like to pick the eucalyptus.
