It's poppies all this week, starting with this gorgeous apricot coloured poppy taken by Liz. The petals almost look as though they're made from paper. Beautiful!

The flowers are bright yellow pom poms, but Silver Wattle is named for its silvery grey foliage.  Always a cheery sight in Winter, this one was photographed in Perth, Western Australia by Georgie.

Amazingly,  azaleas can bloom in any month of the year, but they have the most flowers in Spring or Autumn. This beautiful azalea was photographed by Janet in Sydney.

Hellebore by Liz

Hellebores, also known as Winter Rose or Lenten Rose have beautiful creamy cup-like flowers. I like them because they will grow well in shady spots.
