My love for flowers is an established fact now. So I'm going to stop apologising for making flower posts. South Africa had an amazing collection. However, I'll only find out their names once I get home and dive into the books.

That orange one looks just like orange coloured honeysuckle! thisismizb · 2009-06-05: 13:27

Those are amazing! You have me seriously looking into SA for my next trip. lolasf · 2009-06-05: 13:37

Let us know when you find out please. megaera · 2009-06-05: 13:42

I love #5 websterella · 2009-06-05: 14:31

Thankyou for these. I love number one. lizby1 · 2009-06-05: 14:46

And I would pick #3 with that lovely light Gallivant · 2009-06-05: 15:27

I vote #2. But that was a difficult choice. Oweena · 2009-06-05: 15:58

Keep posting them. And turn them into a calender or something. portreeslim · 2009-06-05: 16:38

Very very nice, though I am still laughing about the not impressed elephant!! ;-) Tulpje · 2009-06-05: 16:53

No, I knew you didn't forget about the flowers. :) moxxxie · 2009-06-06: 08:33

Gorgeous! Shannamuppet · 2009-06-06: 11:26

Gorgeous flowers--the only time you need to apologise is if you stop taking pics of them, and I don't think an apology would be enough. Beautiful all of them, I think #5 is my favourite. ifpics · 2009-06-07: 05:39

#1 is a native iris. #2 looks like Mother of Millions but I can't tell without seeing the foliage. If it is, it's a declared noxious weed in Australia. #3 is a Bauhinia (we grow them as street trees here in Brisbane). Can't help with #4 & #5 I'm afraid. JenPat · 2009-06-07: 05:52

#2 is a red hot poker (on its way out) - in full bloom the top part is red/orange and the bottom part is yellow. #4 is an orange trumpet wine - also very popular over here because it is winter flowering. #5 is some sort of cassia i suspect. sarez · 2009-06-08: 21:20

Wow those are great! #1 is just stunning & #3 how the light shines behind it is fantastic! Riaaa · 2009-06-12: 07:22
