The dry weather suits some flowers


We have noticed this summer that so many trees and plants are exhibiting fabulous blooms. The weather has been very dry for this time of the year and some of the trees seem to revel in the dry.


One such flower that is abundant in these parts is the bougainvillea - and I've managed to capture some brilliant purple flowers that are blooming at my son's house on the Gold Coast. The bush is somewhat uncontrolled and sends it's branches all over a slope in the garden, with brilliant green leaves and the dramatic purple flowers.


Enjoy.

Ah, I missed our bougainvillea flowers, there were so many back then when I was growing up.

They are everywhere at the moment - especially as they do very well when it is dry. Of course we are in drought - so they are fabulous.
