TODAY'S FLOWERS - Flowers of Hope

To clear my head and give my sister a rest while incarcerated

in hospital, I went for a walk in the neighbourhood.

Peeping over the side fence near the emergency entrance was

this great snow-ball bush.

Spring in sub-urban Melbourne brought forth these arum lilies

against a rather monotonous house.

Normally, these lovely grevilleas would be a goldmine for

territorially fighting honey-eaters protecting their food

source. I was surprised at the lack of birds. Despite the masses

of flowers on all sides, I only saw a few Miner birds.

Roses were just starting to bloom with some unfortunately

damaged outer petals from the recent heavy rains.

Lastly, cherry blossom on a small street tree of some caring

gardener who had planted two on his nature strip.

The fresh air and flowers restored me to a semblance of normalcy

so I could keep my sister slightly more cheerful company.

I hope you are all having a wonderful Spring/Autumn wherever you

are. Forgive me if I do not manage to visit you all, I do as much as I

can manage at the moment.

TODAY'S FLOWERS make it possible for us to see what is blooming

around the world, so post your own and check out everyone else's!
