A walk to the dentist.

 On the way to the dentist the other day I came across this shrub it was very pretty and I've never seen one quite like it, it's a Australian native but I don't know what it's called.


 But this is a street tree not very impressive but when in flower it lovely and the perfume is heavenly.
If any one knows the names of these plants I would like to know as they like the area and that always helps, well I'm at the dentists now I know I will end up with a sore mouth and a hole in my pocket for them to pull the money out.

    I don't know the second but think the first belongs to the Isopogen family. This link takes you to more information about them.

    Yes, EC's one the mark with isopogon; though I have not seen that variety before - lovely!
    Think the tree may be a variety of the Lilac family... I can almost smell it from here!!! YAM xx

      It could be a Lilac, it was a wonderful smell.

    That shrub is so pretty, Merle. There's something about red flowers that get to me every time. I hope your dentist work turned out ok. I have to have some work done soon. Thanks for your comment today on my post. I know what you mean....I got some nice comments and some detailed comments. That's ok.....I love my blog friends and I feel that I can tell them my thoughts, and I want them to feel the same about me. And I want you to know you're special to me too.

    love, ~Sheri

    Oh my, the shrub with the red blooms is stunning and quite unique. At least you were able to enjoy some beauty before you went to the dentist {{smiles}} I'm not big on dentist visits.

    Hugs to you, dear Merle!

    Not sure but the street tree might be a lemon scented myrtle , they're in flower now in the bush around us. Gorgeous flower pics. Cheers, Cheryl.

    The pink shrub looks like it might be a pincushion hakea, the white tree might be white lilac.
    I was at the dentist a lot last month, have almost no money left at all, but have six lovely new front teeth.

    Aha! I was wrong, NOT a pincushion hakea.

    Both are nice but I don't recall seeing either before. Aren't lilacs deciduous?

    Both are really lovely. I must ask the expert if he knows what the first flower is...
