The one I saw was when on holiday in New Zealand.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-74216935722280637092015-08-14T10:46:21.249+08:002015-08-14T10:46:21.249+08:00They really were so much fun weren't they?

More trees and shrubs these days.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-83546356269657966652015-08-14T10:44:02.402+08:002015-08-14T10:44:02.402+08:00It would be hard not to love these flowers.

I've never had any in any of my gardens, but there's always some somewhere to be seen, in older gardens mostly where the owner has gone for the cottage garden style.
