Orange Splendour But Not A Pumpkin

Tis The Season To Be Orange


This time of year is a great month for orange - pumpkins, the leaves turning, but these flowers bloom at the opposite side of the world from here in a different season.

I took this photograph of these lovely specimens on our trip to Australia.

They were growing in a public park in Melbourne.

The stems looked a bit like gladioli to me but the flowers themselves were the wrong shape.

When I looked them up it seems that they are canna lilies.

Either way they are very beautiful, don't you think? 😁

Thank you very much @nolasco. I nearly didn't post it as it is "just" a flower. 😂

However, I have found before that posts I almost don't make, usually because they are "too shor"t, have gone down rather well. So I try to post them anyway nowadays. 😁

Just a beautiful flower, you mean. Keep it up, Gillian!
