As we are only a few days from Christmas now I thought I had better post something Christmassy for the next couple of days.
Christmas is in summer here in Australia, so we don't have snow or streets filled with Christmas lights, but we do have Christmas bushes flowering and this beauty is at the Golf Course in Nelson Bay.
@robz They are flowering like mad at the moment and look so beautiful.
@ludwigsdiana They do look lovely. No sooner have the jacarandas and Illawarra flame trees finished flowering when the Christmas Bush starts to flower. It really brightens up summer.
@boxplayer We have lived in Australia for 35 years and I love Christmas in summer. No freezing while we are doing Christmas shopping and we can have a barbeque on Christmas day. Bliss.
Such a beauty - no need for baubles on this , but I can not get my head round to having "Christmas " in your Summer ! but I am sure I would get used to it !!
Beautiful shot and a magnificent tree. Seems strange having you enjoying summer while we are in winter. However, Palestine is closer to the equator than Malta so I presume winter wasn't as cold as showing it to be during Christmas time.
@beryl Thanks Beryl, Yes I do love Christmas in summer, and I don't miss cold at all. I haven't seen snow for 35 years. We do have snow here in the mountains in winter, but I have never felt the need to visit it.
@happypat Yes the NZ Pohutakawa tree and our Christmas bush look lovely during December.
Mine is only about 2 metres tall, and being in Queensland, it has more or less finished flowering. However, being a Sydney girl, I just had to have one. They actually do quite well here in SE Qld - but just a bit early for Xmas.
