I try to observe nature around me and was convinced that I could, to some degree, categorize flowers by the seasons they are in bloom. After a trip to the park in Hawera last weekend, I have officially given up. All these lovely plants were blooming like it's summertime when it's actually the middle of winter!

It's been odd flowers blooming in Auckland as well. In some areas it is looking a bit like springtime here as well. Beautiful photos, especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteLike here last year.

Oh this is lovely! I especially love that coral colour bloom. - Tasha
ReplyDeleteIt's getting warmer every year. But your flowers are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the first photo. I do not thing I have seen flowers like those. This summer I have plans to visit several arboretums and gardens in search of flowers.
ReplyDeleteIn our winter it is white, au color you like in the summer and I like it. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteWow, it nice to see all these blooms in the winter. Is it a mild winter? Lovely images. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers must think they're in the Northern Hemisphere! :)
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteYup, the seasons need renaming I reckon!!! Great blooms though... YAM xx
gorgeous colours! the marguerite daisies are my favourite :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my! Such beautiful blossoms! I am hopeless at identifying plants, which makes things interesting when I'm trying to describe to my mother-in-law what I want in my new gardens ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us again this week for Photo Friday and sharing such beautiful images!

ReplyDelete"Tis "Global Weirding"....it's happening everywhere. We normally have mild and stunningly beautiful summers in the Pacific Northwest. Instead it is so hot, out plants are dying. I think we have to actually accept it.
ReplyDeleteWow, such gorgeous flowers! Maybe the weather should start reflecting them instead of the other way around (normally that is)...
ReplyDeleteFlowers are always a pleasue to see, happy summer WE,greeting from Belgium

Haha I wouldn't complain! Beautiful flowers
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely treasures to see in the winter. this would never happen in winter where I live in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers for winter. The season is shaping up to be a very interesting one.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! We are experiencing a rather mild Winter here in Melbourne also, with all sorts of Spring flowers already blooming.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking part in the Floral Friday Fotos meme.
Well that is a pretty nice way to be messed up! Beautiful. I often forget what season it is since we spend the winter where it is warm. Sometimes I'll be daydreaming as I'm driving to the grocery store or something (say, in February) and I'm wearing cutoffs and a t-shirt -- and I see kids on the playground at school and think "I wonder why they're going to school in the summer?" And then I remember where I am and think 'duh, Florida!" ....
ReplyDeleteYes, it definitely looks like summer! You have the same flowers in bloom as we do in the UK! Enjoy your warm weather!
