Lots of Flowers

Cala Lilies

Saw these in a Flower Shop

Looks Like a Lily to Me

Is this Chrysanthemum? Probably Not! (Now I know they are Carnations)

Small White Flowers

Small Yellow Flowers

I love clicking images of flowers. On treks I usually try to click every new flower that I see. Here is a selection of flowers that I clicked in the summer in Oxford and Leeds this time. Unfortunately I do not know the names of most of the flowers.

The #4 ones- the bright pink/red, are Carnations! And the ones below are driving me crazy because I know the name and can't think of it!

Thanks Akira.

Priyank, thanks!

Cindy thanks for naming the flowers for me. I have seen the yellow ones in the trans Himalayan region Spiti but I do not know the name!

Thanks Ms. Cute Pants for telling me so many names.

Indica thanks a lot.

The number of flowers that I can identify can be counted on the fingers of my hands, but I still appreciate them a lot.
