What’s that purple flower?
Several of us stare down at the purple in question.
If it weren’t September, I’d say it was a crocus.
I take a few photos and move on. Between social activities supporting a family wedding, we’re on a flying visit to Glenveagh National Park and don’t have time to track down any of the gardeners who are, clearly, employed in these formal gardens.
A later search using Google Images offers a “best guess” of spring crocus: clearly not, given the time of year, but it does help by confirming that “crocus” reaction. My best guess is that it’s an autumn crocus.
Nice photos of nice flowers whatever they maybe
Jim R – Maybe we should plant them here (whatever “they” are!). Brighten up the neighbourhood.
The lawn around the moat/swimming pool behind The Highlands Condo is full of dandelion puff balls…It is September… Hmmm.
Barbara – They just don’t quit. I once saw a dandelion blooming in Toronto in November.
