Hort Park gentle beauties

I miss the sun upon the grass
lighting up the flowers
energising them with its rays
I miss the walks in good weather
when all is bright and cheerful
when butterflies come out to play
So where has the sun been hiding
happy to let rainfall take over the day
I miss the sun, the warmth and all
Give me back my sunshine, I pray

Clementis aristata

Hortpark flowers

Morning Glory flowers that were pale and delicate against the morning sunlight.

Bauhinia galpinii flowers. The tree was in front of the Butterfly Enclosure in the Hortpark.
Crown flowers - two varieties, one creamy white with a tinge of green and the other tinged with purple.
I've never seen these flowers before.


And now for this gigantic flower the size of a party paper plate.
Clematis aristata looking like the sprinklings of stars from the sky.

Clematis aristata - Traveller's joy, Goatsbeard

The flowers of this climber originating from Australia has a light fragrance that suits its delicate appearance. I usually do not have the habit of smelling flowers and when I do take notice of the fragrance it must be because it is strong enough to attract my attention.
