    Absolutely fascinating...I have never seen anything like this flower. I wonder if they grow our way. I'll have to check.

    Oh how wonderful to be going into SPRING... As much as I enjoy a little snow, it would be nice to skip winter and go directly into Spring... ha ha

    Your buds are gorgeous.... SO different from the ones we have here. Love them!!!!
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Diane, your spring garden is looking gorgeous. We have many of these varieties here so I know they grow further south and I do recognise them.

    So strange. Everything here in Memphis is getting dark and gloomy as winter sets in.

    How pretty this is! Miss the flowers.

    and what a beaut collection of grevilleas you have too. The coconut ice, in particular, caught my eye.
    The nectar eating birds will be in paradise (and the bees will have a ball!)
    Cheers :D
