gardens past

Even though yesterday was a wonderfully warm spring day, it's still not summer, so here are some flowers from gardens past.

It's mid-winter here in NZ and I'm wishing spring were here. These are from last summer.

Giant Rata at Pukeiti

 I never heard of anything like this before I got to NZ. There's not a lot of info on the Giant Rata on the internet but the sign (last photo) from Bushy Park explains how it uses its host tree.

These were taken this week at Tupare Garden. It's a huge, free garden that is lovely, even in the fall.  Click here for their home page.
