I just take pictures of people in unusual positions and gestures especially those of my brother. He is funny, too. Imagine, he is in every corner of most of my pictures :bawling:and because of this if I ask him take my picture, he will take half of me in the picture :DQuote:

What are these called in English?
Bouganvilla.
Beautiful Begonvil, in Turkish :)
From the picture it looks like azaleas to me. Do they blosom in the spring for a couple of weeks and then look like a green bush until the leaves fall in the autumn?Quote:

I am no plant expert too. I call all flowers, flowers just a few can name and all trees just trees :lol: I think I have to respect their identities but so sorry :DQuote:

Sophia, this one particular bush you have posted is quite lovely - I love that shade of pink and the blooms look so papery and delicate. I bet they smell heavenly.
Did you look up Bouganvilla on Wikipedia, to see if they do look the same?
yes, I checked and it is Bouganvilla. We had this flower, but now not. Oh papery, we call them in persian papery flower. They are really beautiful.Quote:

Wow! I've never seen Bouganvill in this size. Where I live, the weather is cold, of course not like Canada and Alaska, but this flower can't grow outdoors, just indoors and most people have at thier home. In warmer parts near Persian gulf, there are huge kind of these outdoors with beautiful view. I love them especially in different colors.Quote:

Hey Subby, nice to see you. Thanks for the pictures. What's with the second one, someone hanged? ;)
It's a sculpture, Virg. So, no worries...no one was hurt ;)
A sculpture? Really? What's it suppose to mean?Quote:
