Information and Inspiration

Crinkly-edged Leaves

Walking through the native area at Dunedin Botanic Garden on 04 April, I stopped and stared when I saw these Olearia leaves. They're so lovely and crinkly, and remind me of crinkle-cut fries!

A Feeling for the Blues

Can't remember coming across this plant before but it's so lovely! We were walking a path in Dunedin Botanic Garden when I saw masses of little blue flowers up a side path and in the afternoon light it all looked so pretty. Seems perfect the way they're planted here.. either side of the path so...
