Underglow
Despite this being tbe wrong season for them, my nasturtiums are thriving. I couldn’t help but see the flowers beneath their canopy and decided to include them in Cee’s FOTD.
Bright flower
I first thought this bright flower, glowing on an overcast day, was a hibiscus but as I shot it, I wondered if it was something else, the flower being small and inverted.
I’m sure if anyone reads this and can identify my entry in Cee’s FOTD, they’ll tell me. I really should have found an identifier.
Hibiscus
Definitely not the white of Cee’s FOTD theme, but a warm red in our warm climate.
Flowering gums
Ready for Christmas, this Corymbia ficifolia (gum) flowers a glowing red.
The tree is over 40 years old, but hasn’t grown very tall, so close-ups and enjoyment of the beautiful blossoms is easy.
By contrast, at my back door is an infant lemon myrtle gum, which is showing a soft blossom that is faintly honey-scented.
The leaves are considered medicinal by indigenous Australians and I love adding them, chopped, to my Anzac biscuits.
If you love seeing different flowers, you’ll see more in Cee’s FOTD.
Ginger cascade
A cymbidium cricket orchid, for Cee’s FOTD
Foxtail agave
Red crucifix orchid
Marantas
Or prayer plant. These buds and flowers are tiny, but stand out, due to their elevation beyond the rest of the plant.
