African Flower (#34 in “a shining moment” series)

This one is probably the most popular African flower among Australia’s gardeners.

This post’s example was photographed on Anzac Day afternoon, in a petite, surprisingly lush parkland, on the “doorstep” of Perth’s CBD.

A lovesome thing (#31 in “a shining moment” series)

 

A Flower is a Lovesome Thing  (occasionally, wrongly, it appears online as …a Lonesome…) is one of many exquisite compositions which Billy Strayhorn composed for Duke Ellington.

This post’s flower is one of many orchids that exist only in certain locations in southwestern Western Australia.
