i dont think ive ever seen these before, theyre a lovely colour! glad you found them behind the palm branches! also that you can get out there and take some shots after the months with no rain.
Beautiful flowers. It's that time of year for them. I found some the other day with a slightly different color posted at my gallery. You did a wonderful job of capturing these great flowers.
Ha ha! The way you describe that it should be called "Creep Myrtle" lol! I really like these trees, prolific blooms :) Messy though when they start dropping their seeds. Nice shot
