These were taken earlier this year at New Plymouth's Pukekura Park Fern House.
I thought I might get away with not looking up the name of this purple beauty, but I was wrong! It's name is Blue Mist Flower [Bartlettina sordida], I believe.
Those flowers are SO beautiful. Is fern house another name for greenhouse? Or shade house? (Ignorant here, sorry; sometimes I think we speak a different language over here ;>)
All beautiful, but that blue mist flower is nothing like I have seen before. It looks so soft. I also love the fairy flowers towards the top (I know they have a name, but my girls called them that when they were little and it stuck in my mind pushing out the real name).

lovely Betty, are those fuschias I see in one of the photos?
Would like to visit this place. Your pictures are gorgeous!
So pretty! I love going to places where they have an abundance of flowers, and then taking a million pictures and getting lost in their beauty!

@Sallie, yes, they are greenhouses that started with just ferns and the name stuck.
@Amy, yes, they are fuchsias.
A marvellous collection!
Have a nice weekend

That blue mist flower is my favorite out of all the shots you took as it is so unusual. The name of the park makes a great tongue twister.
