Grevilleas: these are very hard to photograh with bits and pieces going all over the place.

Love them all. The colours and craziness of them all are just wonderful.

What a stunning selection of flora, some of the most beautiful and unusual blooms I have ever seen. You captured these just right, lovely lighting and colours, DoF and focus, nice job Michele

Thanks Beach, they are beautiful in their own disordered way, but very hard to get a good photo.

Hi there Shelley and I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Looking at the places you visited though you really needed to go somewhere 'off the beaten track' to meet some Australians. Where do you live?

Thanks Michael, it is so funny I expect everyone to know exactly what these flowers are because I see them all the time. Just shows you what a wonderful thing we have going on here to be able to share the world with photos.

These are such beautiful flowers, and beautiful shots too! They remind me a little of a red spider lily that we have growing wild here.
