A quick ID quiz for you.

Post by Damian Bee »

It's a thundery morning in old Melbourne town which puts me in the mood for a little bit of fun in the flowering and fruiting forum.

You got it, IT"S TIME FOR 'NAME THAT FLOWER'............With your host, that charming guy with the polished teeth and the pin stripe suit :hooray:
No wait, it's just me in jeans and a Tshirt :palm:

At least the flower is something to look at.
