Day 211 of 365

Ahhh!!
My husband doesn't usually PICK me flowers but he came home today with these.
They were growing alongside the track out to the back of the farm and thought they would disappear without anyone seeing them if he didn't!
They are Sun Orchids, the blooms only open in full sun, which is why I had trouble photographing them at the end of the afternoon!!.
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn.
