Walking around "the estate" this morning we noticed how lush the garden was following the recent good rains, but also that the recently felled tree is fighting back.
It must be the recent rains but there signs of growth appearing all over the stump.
This strange tree is a native hibiscus. The leaves and branches are very spiky but the flowers are really beautiful.
The final flower is about hand size with white petals. The petals are striped with pink on the underside and tinged with pink on the inside and with what looks like a raspberry in the middle.
Di also noticed that one of the New Zealand flax plants are flowering.
Very delicate red flowers with yellow tipped stamens.
