Flowers.

During the first month of Spring each year, the David Jones store in Sydney has a big display of flowers. These are just a few of the photographs I took.
When Di suggests that we go to see the DJ's flower display I know that its really her excuse to SHOP!



Even being some of the first people through the doors at 9.30am, I still had to jostle with other photographers for the best shots.



There were magnificent orchids everywhere.
I recognize a lot of the flowers but don't know the names so just enjoy the photos. These are orchids and a member of the Protea family.









These are the flower heads of the Gymea Lily, which normally stands over 2 meters tall.







As we walked around the city we found other places that were carrying on the Spring theme.



This is a cascade of paper flowers in the Strand Arcade.



In the Queen Victoria Building, suspended below the central dome, were huge flowers made by a local artist from paper and card.



This sculpture, which hung over three floors, swung and rotated with the air currents within the building . Their colours alongside the newly painted building made a nice picture.
