Flower Flaunt on Friday - early Winter in north-east Oz.

When I looked around for flowers to flaunt today, for some reason a Monkees' song came into my mind ... just with different words!!!  As some of you know, Winter is the beginning of the annual flower show in my Courtyard Garden ... and this is what popped into my head when I spotted a few of the annuals showing their pretty blooms!

Here we come ....


blooming in our pots ... 


We get lots of loving looks from ....


that nut who grew us!

Hey, hey we're her annuals ...


we're just beginning our display ....

and she's so busy admiring ....

she can't put the camera down!!!!

    Gorgeous flowers especially the petunias. But I’m going to have that song in my head all day now and it’s not even 9am yet!

    Lotusleaf ... that salmon coloured Salvia is one of my favourites amongst all the pastel shades.

    Bangchik ... the top plant is a Verbena and it is such a striking colour.

    Angel ... it's been a wonderful winter so far and I'm so looking forward to all the annuals filling out.

    Thanks for your lovely comments as well Olga and Siteseer ... glad you liked the photos.

    I just love the close up photos of your courtyard plants. I am upside down about which season it is. In the North east of the Us we are almost in Summer. the temperatures are between 70-90 degrees. Here on Long Island they have a saying, "if you don't like the weather when you go out the front door, ...go out the back door." Our weather changes minute to minute. Cheers
