Quirky Flowers .

 

 I decided to try trianglar buttons as the centres of these mauve flowers. That's  anatomically incorrrect but they are imaginary flowers not specific species. I think lime green and mauve work well together.

What a Slack Blogger I am.

 Quite a few times I have meant to put something up here and haven't. Maybe I getting old and lazy or worse slow!

 We have had family birthdays. R turned 80! ( seems just the same! )

 Elder Grandson turned 9 and is achieving so well in all areas .

 Lots happening in the Spring Garden. Colour and perfume everywhere.

 Rhododendron Unique in flower. On the property there are 8 bushes in different areas all flowering. All the same variety so that is rather nice. It's a small compact delicate looking rhodo that is at its best when just coming into flower. It fades off to soft pink almost white.

 The areas where we pulled out a box hedge is now looking good out the dining-room window. Both the black flax and the green Libertia are New Zealand native plants -  the libertia flowers are quite pickable on long stems.

 My blue Dutch Iris are well finished but these later white ones are stunning.

 Inside on the couple of rainy days we have finally had ( much needed ) I have been working on attaching flowers and here long legged birds to my wall hanging.

 Lots still to do on it. This is just the bottom right hand corner.
