Christmas Bells - Blandfordia nobilis

My garden is looking pretty good after the big storm last night.

Here is a link to a Facebook Album of recent photos.

You do not need to join Facebook - this album is fully public to everybody.

Here is a sample. My favourite Waratah flower growing just outside my front door. It is looking at its prime right now.
The styles (the pointy bits in each flower)
are now opening out well.
The whole head of flowers is called a "conflorescence"
About 50% of the individual flowers are now open.
