Dec. 11, 2022 - Australia Flowers - Part 1

The focus of my trip to Australia was to photograph birds, but there were plenty of beautiful flowers to photograph as well. Let’s start with one I can identify. These are Hibiscus flowers. They were seen at Dinden National Park in Mareeba, Queensland.

The rest of today’s photos are of flowers I can’t identify. If you know what they are, please leave a comment below or send me an email earlorf@uslink.net with the correct identification. I don’t have a specific location for this flower, but it was somewhere in Queensland.

NOTE: Someone has already identified this as Malabar melastome.
