Bloomtober

OK, so I'm mixing it up a bit but today IS Flower Day for me .... look what I discovered when I got home from work today:

It's my Melbourne grandmother's flower! I spied the buds a few weeks ago and now look what's happened ... KAPOW!

This is the most amazing bloom I've ever seen (well, in my garden anyway!)

Grandma, thank you for this, one more lovely thing to remember you by!

One more shot, I'm just so excited about this flower (I wish I knew what it was!)
