    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 and because of this if I ask him take my picture, he will take half of me in the picture

    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?

    I was thinking azalea, too, but I'm no plant expert.

    I don't thin they are azaleas! We call other flowers azaleas!
    I found they are Bouganvilla as Madhuri and tractatus said.

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

    They do look like Bouganvilla - I saw those in CA, when I was out ther years ago. They grow abundantly along, or in the middle of some highways. They are quite beautiful. I think I also saw them growing wild in the Bahamas.
    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?

    I've never seen Bouganvlla. I looked it up. It looks cool. They can grow up to 12 meters high. Wow. Here's a google image:

    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.
