Wonderful colours! I know you are preparing for summer on your side of the world but here they would fit right in the autumn colour scheme.

What beautiful flowers; they remind me of the magnolia champaca flowers back in my country of Myanmar.

You have introduced me to a new flower — thank you. They are beautiful. We only see white or deep pink magnolia here. 🙂

A feast for the eyes for this old Kiwi bird! I saw quite a few on my short walk today. Lovely.

🙂 Our kowhai is right next to T’s office, and as we were coming down from there yesterday, a kereru flew very low directly above us. So loud — we both jumped.
