We don't have grackles here. We have many crows, sparrows, doves, hummingbirds, and wild parrots. The crows and parrots can drive you nuts!

In Texas there are lots of grackles.
Do you see those in your neighbourhood ?

I love the Bauhinia trees, their flowers come in various colours and their leaves are so special, butterfly shaped.

Yep, know that one. I fell in love with it when I first saw it, because of its unusual butterfly shaped leaves. The flowers of course are exquisite too. I had one in my garden but I killed it with love I think. Many grow in Cairns, white, pink and purple ones. They sure are lovely.

Very colourful.
These would certainly brighten up the streets.

Sounds like a lovely area. We are retired farmers ourselves and had an orchard and vineyard, so we always lived rural and I always had huge gardens too. I now discovered when holding the mouse over the profile pic of the members, you can see where they are! It took a while to find that one out.

I am in the state of Georgia in the US. We live in a suburb of Atlanta, about 40 miles from downtown. This area is semi rural and some of the farms are very old.

Hello, I like your red chilli, they taste good too. Well, the flowers are at least 10 cms wide. I could not get close to it, so held the camera high and zoomed in. But this is easily looked up. I just did and my guess was right 10 - 15 cms. I lived in Darwin and had a pink one in the garden, which I planted myself. I think the flowers were smaller, the tree didn't do too well and it died!
Thanks for looking at my pics. Where are you?
