Hi there folks..........I put some new plants in my yard in an effort to attract birds and butterflies.........well it's finally happened :clap :clap they have finally flowered whooooooohooooooooo!!!! :clap :clap and they look so pretty.
The one in the front yard has only one flower on it, and the one in the backyard has two flowers on it, really big flowers they are too.

If you look really really closely you can even see a couple of ants :D
Enjoy......but I got the real thing so I'm enjoying it all the more :lol4

    That's a good flower pic there Skipper. I like the color. You got a really deep DOF.

    Congrats also on nurturing it to maturity. I couldn't grow a plant to save my life.

    This flower is the State flower of N.S.W here in Australia its a Waratah, or belongs to the Waratah family this particular one is called "Shady Lady"

    They are just beautiful the plant itself sort of looks scrawny but when those flowers come out boy oh boy are they ever so pretty.

    I didn't know you could grow them here in Victoria down this far anyways.
    The plant is an Australian Native, next Winter I need to move it cause I think I put it a little too close to the fence.

    Hey Brian I took it using your Macro Setup :D it worked beautifully clap.gif
    Thanks for the help.......... Skippy (Australia)

    I have no idea how long the flowers last, but when it gets bigger what a beautiful shrub it will be once it matures and has more flowers :D
    The pink one is a different shape to the one out the front but they are both from the Waratah family........thanks for looking...... Skippy (Australia)

    I wasn't sure this plant would do any good either, cause I am no good at gardening......I like to have plants and stuff that don't require a lot of maintenance cause I just don't have the time, and when I do have time I want to use that time doing other things not pulling out weeds :D

    This photo realy doesn't do the plant justice at all.......thanks for the comment.
