I'm no botanist, but that does look like a spectacular example of wara-attle-tah.

Yep.   Tas, it's a Waratah, not a Wattle

They probably don't have flowers in Canada.

(With the help of Google Translate, so don't blame me if it comes out funny...).

Avez-vous des fleurs au Canada?

Thanks ecar xx

Not only am I useless at photography, but when it comes to naming/knowing the trees and flowers in our garden, I really lose the plot ....

Oui, nous avons de belles fleurs au Canada, mais, je ne connais pas leurs noms; Je ne sais pas sur les fleurs et les arbres, mais, je ne les aime! ...

Faves are Iris, Freesias, Passionfruit flowers and Blossom.

Blossom in the wind

The last Iris

(ecar, I would guess pimpy's pic is native Iris as well)

Love the smell of the Jasmine at the back and neighbors Magnolia.

Another fave is when the poinciana in our backyard flowers. It goes from dead, to green to vibrant red.

Here's an old,used before pic of the tree in flower. Leaves a red carpet.
