The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring, Tra La… (part 1)

I can remember many years ago in my arrogant youth sending my godfather a birthday card featuring a pretty rose on the front and the rude comment inside that “Old people like pictures of flowers.”
Sadly I’ve since become old and discovered that I love pictures of flowers too. I’m hoping you do too. If any of you hang around my Facebook page, you’ll know that I often go quite mad with my camera taking photos of local flora.
I thought seeing we’ve hit spring in the Northern Hemisphere that I’d share some of my favorite flower photos with you today – and next month. I’ve got a bloomin’ LOT of flower photos to share! This month, I thought I’d share what to me are exotics. Next month, it’s the Aussie natives.

And you may just notice a few photos familiar from the website – I thought you might be interested to know where they came from.
