FOTD – Hanging cups

Happy Friday everyone! Today’s flower of the day is not actually a real flower, it’s a flower on a cup, hanging on a tree! I love the idea of hanging cups in a tree, especially when you’re visiting a garden tea room. This was discovered at the Camellia Gardens we visited this morning. It did feature a rose on the cup so I figured it’s perfect for today’s flower.

FOTD – Ornamental Onion

Happy Friday everyone! I love that Dan and Marsha have created a special challenge today to post a flower in remembrance of Cee, the lady who started the flower of the day challenge. I remember always wanting to find new flowers and post about them, so when I spotted Cee’s challenge I was delighted. Cee was extremely welcoming, friendly and really played a big part in my blogging journey with her encouragement and positive energy. I am delighted her memory lives on through other bloggers and their flower posts, or other challenges that she had inspired. Today I am showing a very beautiful ornamental onion, part of the allium family, which also includes garlic, chives, and leeks. Known for their tall stems and globe-shaped blooms, I thought this singular flower would be perfect for today.

Discovered at Hillsborough Forest Castle & Gardens, Northern Ireland.

FOTD – Barbados lily

Happy Friday to you all. Don’t you just love when you walk along a dusty main road and find a beautiful floor somehow surviving and thriving.

Yesterday I was walking to work when I spotted these absolute beauties, Barbados Lillies (scientific name Hippeastrum puniceum), so vibrant and full of life. Have a good day everyone 🙂

Fridays Flowers @ The Grounds

I want to share with you today some flowers from a very popular place here in Sydney at The Grounds of Alexandria. Presently they are showcasing their Secret Garden, where lots of people come to take some pictures and pose with the flowers, mainly girls for their social accounts but it is a really impressive spectacle. I’m unsure if the flowers are real or artificial or maybe a combination of both but it really is a feast for the eyes either way. You can see more information about the event here.

Let me know what you think 🤗

A little video to capture your imagination ☺️
This was when I visited the event last year.
