Daffodils in April - in New Zealand 🇳🇿 where it is Autumn - the world really is upside down at the moment 🤣. They do look glorious nestled among the sasanqua camellia petals

Today’s flower a stunning rose - called Poppy A rose that should remind us all that “War is old men talking and young men dying”. Here’s hoping that the ceasefire tonight holds longer than 2 weeks #LestWeForget

Autumn brings one of my favourite fruits - mandarins. We planted this one 2 years ago when we moved in - this is its first season of fruit. I admit there is a lot of fruit for such a small tree.

Today we have the stunning tibouchina plant. Also known as the Brazilian spider plant. It flowers late summer early autumn. Not common here in NZ but prolific across the ditch in Australia. They usually are a good indicator that Easter is almost here

A perfect rose for today international women’s day. This is the Kate Sheppard rose. Kate led the NZ suffragette movement in the 1890’s + petitioned the NZ parliament to give women the vote. Her work led to NZ being the first country in the world to give women the vote in 1893.
