TODAY'S FLOWERS

The frangipani are doing a good job of cheering the place up around here. These are just some of the blooms I picked up off the ground!
The buckinghamia or ivory curl, at the front gate has also been a picture, but won't last much longer!
and there was a lovely crepe myrtle, or pride of India flowering away at church this morning...it looked quite a picture beside the wattle leaves!

I love Plumeria - Frangipani flowers are very beautiful.
Too bad I can't grow them in my garden!!

Crepe Myrtle bushes are always so beautiful. I love the curve of the branches.
Love the delicate frangipani petals.

Beautiful photos of frangipani. Do you know it means French Bread, after the shape of the branches when they are bare?

Is that what frangipani looks like? I learn so much playing this meme! They are delicate flowers! I alos love that ivory curl! Unusual, to me, at least!
So glad that you and yours are safe. Australia seems to be having more than its share of troubles this year!!

Like this beautiful spring flower. I think it might be a magnolia. I am always looking upwards when I walk around New York. I seem to be drawn to the tops of the buildings for some reason! I love all the roof gardens I see up there, trees and all. I thought this message was especially interesting ....and challenging a little perhaps, especially this Holy Week. Back to the ground ...a tiny car and a dot of color. Daryl was drawn to the doorway I think! An Australian labradoodle we met in a shoe shop. I presumed he wasn't buying himself shoes! But he was a gorgeous dog nonetheless. Apparently good if you have allergies. Daryl looks happy she got the shot she wanted! Another magnolia?
