Did you use a macro? I always like to photograph flowers in macro.
 

No.... just used Samsung phone... it does a pretty good job!

 

Not sure what these are called but they are beautiful !!

Thai Tulip (so called) which I brought in Isaan about this time last year... has suddenly come in to bloom!

Wow, never seen a rubber tree in  flower b4! Well done!

 

Not many around Samui, but might go check out one or two I know! (I removed on image in the reply BTW)

 

Must get a pic of the Golden Rain tree across the road from me!...

Rubber trees (Ficus} have completely different flowers. I have seen this one on Koh Kood and am still looking for the (Latin!) name/

Zephyranthes carinatum, bulbs purcuased in Catuchak

Bougainvillea, I imagine that these ones have been grafted as I think that is the only way you would get the different colours that you see here.

Thanks Ron, they're truly amazing and don't appear to be real at the first glance.

Someone put some time and love into their work !!

^^^^^Yes,  Bougainvillea like that is grafted... I am about to inherit one poor specimen from a neighbour... Not sure what they use as a root stock...

 

Meanwhile, this has perked up and lovely scent ... not sure of the name...

Yeah, looking again, it's obviously not a rubber tree / Ficus... The flower reminds me of a Cistus, but foliage not! .....oh well!

 Those grafted bougainvillea look fantastic. I have seen natural combinations of purple and partly white, but these are absolutely beautiful.

Wat Yai Chaimongkol, Ayutthaya .
If you're ever nearby, worth a visit, there's a row of about 8 of them.
Some fine work indeed !!

Three of my frangipani opened up today... manage to get shot before the usual brown spots appeared!

Came across this " nursery " today in Nakhon Nayok, apparently they are not as uncommon as I first thought !!
