The purple-ish one is a Dutch Iris I feel

Yes, that purple one is an Iris, Dutch or Bearded.

The bottom one looks like an Easter lily. Easter lilies are usually white, but it could be a hybridized one. Here's a picture of one with some pink in it.

It's a Trumpet Lily. The Easter Lily is a form of Trumpet Lily.

Thought I would post this overly processed Rose of Sharon capture that I just took a few minutes ago. So far the General's been pretty much a wimp (only light showers on and off). It still amazes me how a little water makes a flower pop so well.

As the background story, Dad had me plant 4 of these trees in the Spring. As you can tell from the brown grass, it's been weeks since we had rain, so Lee's been, so far, a blessing at least here. It just amazes me how young these trees are and they still flower.

Zeek, those flowers are stunning photos....the grevillea really is amazing

Rose of Sharon is gorgeous Lyle...I think I remember reading that it doesnt mind drought conditions...they grow well here with little or no rain...and become quite tall ..

One of my hobbies is growing hybrid show irises. Here's a couple of my favs and the last one is from the passion vine in my backyard.

akky · **Joined:** Apr 09, 2011 **Posts:** 1764

they are gorgeous and the passion is very typical isnt it...I've seen red passion flowers as well..theres some religious symbolism behind the flower as well.

I agree with Pauline; these are beautiful Drac; way too lazy myself to grow flowers like these.
