what? girlfriends?

Yes, with trees growing out of their thighs.

Can I buy some seeds?

Not in our hotel but the place where we had to go. Birds Of Paradice, one of the most beautiful flowers around (as well as Calla Lillis)

More flowers - and more of the g/f

I could really do without that comment

Such flowers!  I'm having a 70s moment!


Or was Flower Power a 60s thing?  I forget.

Bloody good photos.

Day Dreamer, for my 1000th post, may I say thanks to you and the g/f for taking time to get these photos to us. Thank her also for the help with the t-shirt photo. Besides the rose, the Bird of Paradise is my favorite flower.

Lovely photos, DD.   And the flowers are nice, too

I guess I should spell it correctly then.

1000? 900 were just in the T-Shirt thread

And you're welcome everyone. Always been a bit of a shutterbug, now I can finally show off a few. I stopped using film almost two years ago. Too bad, they make better quality prints, but very hard to download; the paper jams in the floppy drive

Great photos DD - keep it up!

I always want to improve my technique - can you lend me your girlfriend?   

 

Some photos of flowers from my time in Guangdong. Not easy to find flower gardens there:
1. public parks have acres of concrete surrounding some trees
2. flowers lining the streets are usually in pots


 

Very nice xw.  You are tempting me to get out and about, and actually focus on finding flowers.  Not so difficult at the moment, so I really should try!!
