20/11/2015		Passiflora tetrandra Submitted by dayne laird Good set of native passionfruit this year on my eastern-boundary fence. The sunny (ie neighbour's side) doing better than "my" side as per normal .... (21Nov2015)
18/11/2015		Geranium traversii Submitted by dayne laird Lots of this pretty species peppered around Fernglen Gardens. Whites and Pinks mostly. (15Nov2015)
18/11/2015		Geranium traversii Submitted by dayne laird Lots of this pretty species peppered all around Fernglen Gardens. (15Nov2015)
13/11/2015		Acaena novae-zelandiae Submitted by dayne laird This plant makes a great ground-cover where there's a bit of extra moisture you need mopping up. Awesome foliage, a bit Seuss-like in appearance, and if you trim the flower heads before they turn into hooks the annoyance of them getting everywhere is removed! (Nov2015)
24/09/2015		Urtica ferox Submitted by dayne laird One of my favourites, this one produces some excellent foliage(!) during the spring. Takes a bit of a hammering from the lacy-wings over summer but always recovers bigger and stronger each year. This specimen is about 4-5yo now. (20Sep2015)
24/09/2015		Pomaderris kumeraho Submitted by dayne laird Have had this (now) 2m+ high tree since it was a wee thing for about 4-5 years now. Still filling out, but it has height! Definitely likes the rubbish soil in this exposed spot in our front-garden.
24/09/2015		Pomaderris kumeraho Submitted by dayne laird Just four days later after the first flower's apperarance, with the addition of some sun-shower drops this particular morning, we got this show. (20Sep2015, Auckland)
24/09/2015		Pomaderris kumeraho Submitted by dayne laird First "pop" for spring. Was watching for a few days to see when the first flower would burst and it did so on a rather gloomy morning after rain the prior night. (Auckland, 16Sep2015)
26/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird Fernglen's specimen in full bloom, 23Nov2014 (compare to the earlier photo I took on 12Oct2014 where it is just budding). A relatively young tree of about 30 years (planted in 1991 as a "specimen" tree, so probably had a few years on it before it went into the ground). Only the East-North quadrant had any flowers, and none on top of the tree. Based on that, I'd better stop trimming the lower branches off my one at home!
26/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird Plenty of honey bees as well, slower moving, but making hard work of getting their head down the stamens.
26/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird This native bee, with its mates, were by far the winners with the flowers on this tree, just the right shape to get every drop they wanted. Quick moving tho' - quite the challenge to photograph one staying still long enough on top of the flower (as opposed to only seeing its rear-end due to the front end being buried deep down the stamens).
26/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird Very different from prior weeks was that the tree was literally a-buzz. Bumbles were the loudest, but flight-iest. Might be a bit big to get at the nectar perhaps because they didn't sit still very long at all before buzzing off for another attempt (23Nov2014).
26/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird Actually no, this is my favourite pictured .... actually I have quite a few favourites (but this is my favourite.. 23Nov2014)
26/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird Favourite picture of these awesome blooms. (23Nov2014)
26/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird That's what I've been waiting for. First-hand real flowers (16Nov2014). Awesome - my "model" finally bloomed (23Nov2014 or earlier). That 6 week wait and trips to the North Shore was worth it!
17/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird A fully opened flower which has opened ahead of my "model" cluster which I've been following the past few weeks (16Nov2014).
17/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird That's what I've been waiting for. First-hand real flowers (16Nov2014). Awesome. Next week this "model' cluster should be fully opened.
17/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird Bartletti flower buds close-up 4 weeks later (9thNov2014), MUCH closer, red crosses forming in the centred of the bud.
17/11/2014		Metrosideros bartlettii Submitted by dayne laird Bartletti flower buds close-up 3 weeks later (2ndNov2014) from first pic, buds getting bigger.
29/10/2014		Pennantia baylisiana Submitted by dayne laird This is likely to make quite a show in a few weeks with all those flower clusters (24Oct2014, Fernglen Garden)
