So I kicked my butt into, well not exactly high gear but out of 'park' anyway, and climbed out of the gravitational well of the sofa. I decided to take a wander with my camera at lunchtime, making my way slowly to The Courthouse Hotel for pub knitting at 2pm.
Look. At. This. I'm sorry, Autumn? Look at these showstoppers! These attention seeking show-offs! Clearly they are meant to be blooming at this time of year, which is actually Autumn, but whatever.
Right around the corner from these was a shady wall covered with grape vines, grape vines that were covered in leaves turning russet reds and and dark browns. Which I tried to make some nice pics out of, and they were quite beautiful, but my heart just wasn't in it. Not compared with the hot pink fireworks. No contest.

Yeah, micky, congratulations, whatever.
Anyway, back to the spectacular flowers. What are they? Mums? Dahlias?
OOH...these lovelies literally burst off the page. Or screen as it were.
Sweet!
Peener, I think they're a fancy varietal of Gerbera daisies(?)
Might be - or one of the lesser known groups of Dahlia. I learnt a lot about dahlia's during my time in Armidale. There was this guy who used to win all the prizes every yr at the annual ahow & he had many different types - many I had never encountered before
Very pretty, I think they are some kind of zinnia actually.
I think Diva must be right, certainly they're the right colors for Zinnias.
