Deck the bridge with blooms of Poin...er...


Doesn't our bridge look good at the moment?  This is Poinsettias by Ian De Gruchy and will be projected onto the bridge each night for about 5 hours from when it gets dark up until tuesday night. Poinsettias are Brisbane's floral emblem. At the risk of sounding like a smarty pants, I reckon that these flowers are actually from a Poinciana tree. What do you think?

 Either way, the floral tribute is very Christmassy as both red flowers are blooming in Brisbane right now. If you are celebrating, Happy Christmas to you!

    Looks like real poinsettias to me. Thanks again for a bridge projection photo. I think it's such a great idea and this one is very Christmassy.

    A very Merry Christmas to you Cara!
