Today's Flowers # 95 - More From Mexico

My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 2 GMT is the post time.


Here is a Bird of Paradise, I really enjoy this flower.
This next two are daisy looking flowers but not sure which kind. Carletta said they were Gazania, I grew them last year. Oh how the memory fails as you get older.
This was a different color.
Have a flowery day.

    The Mexican flowers are as gorgeous as the Mexican birds, Tom. Thanks for sharing.

    I was also thinking the last two are gazania! But I really love the bird of paradise flowers! they are so exotic!!! I still find it hard to believe they actually bloom that way!

    These are very beautiful, Tom. The Bird of Paradise gave me a sense of deja vu - my aunt had them planted around the pool cage when she was alive. They always put a smile on my face. Love the colors on the Gazania.

    I'll be back to look at your Mexico photos...
