Hey Everyone,
We had to go to the airport today to pick
up some stuff so while we were waiting I figured I’d write my blog post for the
day J.
Dad and I are sitting in a little spot out
of the way where not many people go, every so often a plane will take off and
they are always SOOO close, it’s reallt cool.
Plus there is a nice view of a jacaranda that is about to explode into
bloom, it looks like it will put on
quite a display. There is a really nice
big one in incredible bloom at school at the moment so I’ll try and sneakily
get a photo of it tomorrow on my phone… if I get it confiscated I’m blaming all
of you hehehe J.
Now, part 4 of the Toowoomba Carnival of
Flower, now be aware, so far all of the photos I have shown have all been of
Queens Park, there are still several more parks and a private garden or two
still to come. I hadn’t realized just
how many photos I’d taken J I get really trigger-happy sometime.
The photos this time are of some of the
plants in the garden beds that were located on the main lawn of the park, I was
a week or two early for the major blooming, but they were still beautiful and
with a bit of imagination you can see how amazing they would look around about
now… sigh, if only we lived closer.
As always, I love to know the names of any
plants so if you happen to know the name, wether it be scientific or just it’s
common name I would LOVE it if you would be able to let me know in the
comments, I’ll label as many photos as I can with their names, but those I
don’t know I’ll just leave blank.
Enjoy.

hehehehe, found this funny quote
My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn't take it out of my garden.

Very pretty flower beds.
ReplyDeleteNow those are heaven beds !!!!
ReplyDeleteI love snapdragons, one of my favorites up there with foxglove. It's hard to tell without close-ups of the flowers, but your unknown plants look almost like Angelonia? If not, maybe something related to it?
ReplyDeleteI ADORE snap dragons and foxgloves, i am just addicted
Deletehmmmm... close, but not quite, thanks for the tip though, i'll keep looking :)
