..a visit to the nursery

Remember my open lotus flower during the week? This is where I'd taken the photo, at Wyee Nursery, alongwith these.



leaves can be oh so beautiful too; the coleus




and the Freckle Plant








sitting having coffee now and who comes along?  What a lovely tail you have ..


and face too ... penny for your thoughts.

  2. Beautiful series of shots, Carole. Nurseries provide a good opportunity for photography but also allow you to build up a "wish-list album" of plants. The little lizard is great!

    Thank you for participating in Floral Friday Fotos and for your kind comment.

  5. There's a nursery near my home and I would go there at least once a year just before the Chinese New Year, there are lots of flowers bought in, some were uniquely seen only during this season. Love all your photographs.

  9. lizards creep me out, but yea...they can be quite interesting to capture. the flowers are pretty but yes, the cake goes to the leaves. i dono wat they are but do remember them from one of my trips...they're very pretty indeed!

    also, i'd really appreciate if you could contribute for Saturday Sareenity.

    have a great weekend,
    cheers!

  10. A wishlist of plants is generally all it will be for me - I have the proverbial 'black' thumbs!! While the plants are gorgeous, my heart was stolen by the skink!!

    That was a great visit to a nursery! We used to grow coleus as a house plant -- lovely to see the masses of it.

  17. Love the petunia tree...are there baskets in the tree; or, is this not a petunia? Does your lizard friend have a name...certainly is sleek!

  18. yes there was a basket or two and I suspect they're a hybridised petunia variety. I think it was an Eastern Skink ...

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
