Lots more Freesia's are flowering now.. All very pretty.
No Favourites though this one is different so kind of special.
Still waiting for the cream stripped one to pop up.

 I agree, they are all lovely but the 1st. one is very special 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

I love freesias... and their perfume though I know you're not keen on the perfume Mary-Anne  The top one should be named with something to do with fire, it is very pretty. I love the second last pic though - just something about it that attracts my eye

I think so too Cheryl and Thanks.
Thanks Gail.. Funny you should say that, my American friends on the Art Site wrote exactly the same thing,they have called it my user name plenty of fire in that, seems they have never seen a colour like that before either. Its certainly a change from the solid blue, purple, pink and yellow..
I like the pink one too Gail, usually the yellow one comes out like that but not this time, and why does it always get windy around 4pm when the sun is gone from there and I want to take photo's.
The smell is very overpowering and I think I will have to move them soon thank goodness they are in a pot and I can do that..

My port wine Magnolia is not far away from flowering, now that is overpowering, smell like bubblegum

That's strange I have just come in from the garden and mine has a few buds on it also, it is looking so much better since I moved it earlier this year it was so yellow before.
I only come in to get my camera that NZ Christmas bush the neighbour gave me a couple of week ago it flowering its little head off. 
Got to go take a pic...

The port wine magnolias at the school are flowering, noticed the smell when I walked past it the other day. Always gives me the urge to get some chewing gum

Does it, well I will look forward to that different perfume it would not be as strong as the floral one or would it.

It is strong-ish, I wouldn't call it overpowering but you may. It is a different smell but hard to explain.
