Beautiful Flowers on my Travels.

Today for my @amazingnature post orchestrated by @adalger , i like to show you some varieties of flowers that my wife and myself came across on our travels overseas and in and around Australia. Nature is something you just can not ignore because when it is something different you haven't seen some how it just seems to bounce out in front of you that is if your paying attention to nature.

Let's start of with this lovely view from the resort that we were staying in by the ocean in Vietnam and looking at these pretty colorful Tibouchina or maybe Melastoma not really sure but , i do know it was a breathtaking view to get up to every morning that we were there.

Then we had all these beautiful colored Frangipani all around the resort i was only use to seeing white Frangipani back home till i saw these in Vietnam i suppose the tropical weather gives them more vibrant happier colors.

This was in Danville at my cousin's house in California his wife was just as good a green thumb as my wife this was just a lovely outdoor breakfast setting area she had hang all these lovely Ferns in these cute metal boxes to give it that look fresh and relaxing feel while having that warm cup of coffee.

---

My Passion Fruit vine in my back yard of Byron Bay , Australia just love my passion fruits whether it's just picked straight of the vine and eaten or mixed in my morning smoothies.

---

And of course living more on the tropical side of N.S.W towards north of the Gold Coast we can grow our own Pineapples who doesn't like a sweet piece of Pineapple with your fruit salad.

---

This was a unusual flower we saw on the coastline of Perth beaches in Western Australia related to the Barringtonia asiatica family like the Mangrove trees this flower tree apparently only grows on the beach front i was told it is as the Putat tree or Sea Poison tree to much of a pretty flower to be called a Sea Poison tree i would think.

---

Australia native flower but not sure of it's name could be from the family of the Coast Coral Tree in any case it has a beautiful formation.

---

These next one i saw in Vietnam i think this one is what they call the Butterfly bush these normally grow in a shrub form with masses of blossoms which attract many butterflies thus the name Butterfly bush.

---

These next ones are types of Lilies could not tell you the names as there is about 600 species of Lilies and these little Lilies are so pretty and have the most wonderful aroma.

---

The Pink Lotus also known as the Sacred Lotus is one of the most beautiful Lotus but i would say all Lotus flower are special they are represented in the Buddhist religion and are a very spiritual flower which you will see been offered to the Buddhist temples many Asia countries.

---

This beautiful Pink Lotus belongs to my neighbor and i was keeping a eye on it while it was blooming once they flower blooms unfortunately the flower doesn't say intacted for to long the petals drop of within a couple of days.

---

And this last flower is a Australia native flower tree that we came across while we were hiking around the Blue Mountains in Sydney , Australia in these mountains you will find the most incredible species of native flower trees that will leave you in amazing of how mother nature can be so beautiful.
