Lovethis little notice I spied in someone's front garden...a very sweet way to mark the spot!

:: hydrangea iii ::
this is precisely why it is a good plan to leave some of the tidying up in the garden 'til really late...
...because when there is a frost, what are really the untidy leftovers from Summer's hydrangea bushes that have dried to a lifeless brown, take on a whole different look with minute ice crystals rimming their every papery edge...
...so beautiful, so worth the frozen fingers out in the front garden at -1 this morning :-)

:: no id ::
Another mystery plant in our street...with many stages of development before fully opening into a spray of perfect, tiny white flowers each with 5 rounded petals...
...this stage, where all those perfect petals are folded exactly inside and ready to flower, yet concealed entirely, except for colour...and a miniature star revealed therefore...
...the precision of nature!

:: camellia iii ::
It really is camellia season now, with all kinds of lovely beauties bursting out.
I really didn't realise there were so many varieties until I started looking.
...and in the background is my trusty flower-spying-assistant, Miss Olive, dutifully examining something I obviously had not!

:: erica ::
I 'think' these very joyfully-pink miniature blooms are of the erica
family and probably a heath or a heather...someone may be able to
correct me if they know more...! For now, I'm assuming this.
...and aren't they spectacularly-coloured and abundantly profuse?
...like the weekend we've just enjoyed - a marvellous gift of a train journey to and from the West Coast of New Zealand with an overnight in Greymouth in the middle. Have decided that train travel is a very lovely and gentle way to travel - may have started something...!!
