Mike, good try!
Anirban, I am impressed!
Have you ever been to Montenegro? How did you guess the flag?
Thanks!

I've never been to Montenegro Jakov. History interests me, so are the flags.  :)

EDIT: what I read the most after NG, is Wikipedia. :)

Anirban, I applaud the fact that you have reached Montenegro by reading through Wikipedia. Impressive!

There is no quiz today.
Same gear, two tulips and my suggestion for the new Kiwi flag :)

On a side note. The LP photographed is my first vinyl purchase in more than 20 years :-[
I am yet to acquire a turntable  :-[

I'm late to the party, but I really love that first shot, very dreamy and beautiful rendition of colors. Mongo's comment is awesome.

Mongo´s comment is not only beautiful, also correct from my point of view.


   Second flag may be from Greece, Uruguay or even Cuba. Not idea about the first one, and I have been looking...  ::)

Thank you Jørgen and Paco.
Yes, we are blessed to have Mongo around to treat us with his thoughts.
All flags have been revealed. Yugoslavia is the first one and the second one is Greece. The other ones are Georgia, Montenegro and Estonia.
As soon as I buy new flowers I will post some new flags :)

Thank you Anirban. Yes we love the sound of those turntables indeed.
Most grateful for the link. These U-turn look like just my cup of tea - colorful and modern. Although I am not so sure about the rubber elastic band being so exposed :)
