Spider lily in the Angkor Botanical Gardens in Siem Reap.

Butterfly pea in Siem Reap.

A Hong Kong orchid that I came across at the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Desert rose with a hole in her heart.

Crispy wave fern (I think!), at the inimitable Cul de Sac in Siem Reap.

Sunflower -- if you look very closely, you'll see a tiny, weird-looking spider at the top of it.

Queen's wreath I came across in Penang, Malaysia. It was GLORIOUS.

Another desert rose. I love everything about this flower, including its attitude.

I'll get back to you in this one...

I came across a field of zinnias at the Angkor Botanical Gardens in Siem Reap, with the sun going down behind them, and nearly lost my mind they were so beautiful.

One of the field of zinnias at Angkor Botanical Gardens.

Heliconia, the drama-drama queen of the flower world.

Banana flower.

A dying rose. I have a slight obsession with dying flowers and the way they reflect light back at the world instead of absorbing it all.

An anenome near Monein in The Béarn. The hedgerows here are always bursting with flowers -- a rather distinct, and depressing, difference between here and my home in Ireland.

Play time.

Golden dewdrop.

I'm not actually the biggest fan of zinnias, but this one was so perfect it took my breath away.

Rushing through the grass.

Dandelion.

Wild garlic by the Blackwater in Ireland.

Star Magnolia in my grandmother's garden.
