Lots of Flowers

Posted on September 6, 2008

Cala Lilies

Saw these in a Flower Shop

Looks Like a Lily to Me

Small White Flowers

Is this Chrysanthemum? Probably Not! (Now I know they are Carnations)

Small Yellow Flowers

I love clicking images of flowers. On treks I usually try to click every new flower that I see. Here is a selection of flowers that I clicked in the summer in Oxford and Leeds this time. Unfortunately I do not know the names of most of the flowers.

    The #4 ones- the bright pink/red, are Carnations! And the ones below are driving me crazy because I know the name and can’t think of it!

    The number of flowers that I can identify can be counted on the fingers of my hands, but I still appreciate them a lot.:)
