Trumpet Lilies in the Kingston Creek


In the last heavy rains when the whole of Kingston was practically soggy, these beautiful large trumpet lilies grew in the creek down by the convict bridge. Naturally and of course I didn't take any photos but as I drove past at least two times every day, I took note of them and thought they looked like fairie's evening dresses. Beautiful. So I've painted them. Sharyn just came in and said that they are Datura Flowers. Halucegenic and can make you go blind if you play with them. Oh well. They still look good. Far better than the picture. I can't get the camera off flash so none of the detail is showing. Where's that blasted Thomas!
