Precisely. My daughter's favourite English-language book is Hop on Pop, and it was the "Three Tree Three fish in a tree. Fish in a tree? How can that be?" that put me on to "carp in tree".

Fallen borageBorage playing nicely. Here’s beastly borage: horns and prickles. (Working on eliminating that tunnel effect with the macro adapter wotsit. I do like it as a new-to-me effect right now.) Very liking LightZone too; it thinks like me.

Enormous flower draws crowds at Wintergarden hothouse today. Tomorrow when it opens, the stench might drive the crowds away.

From hothouse to charnel house...
I read the odour permeates an area of 2-3km.
It gives one a sense of wonder, as in...
Wonder if that encompasses the hospital, university and Parnell?
Wonder how long it blooms for?
Wonder if they'll refund any booked weddings?<oh, I am offal...>
PS: Still, I see a rare site opportunity for Auckland's
itinerant nosegay vendors. -

The Peterborough community people have posted on Facebook that they too have oneof these monsters that flowered most years and were wanting to get rid of i, then read about the Auckland one. I dont think it's the first: about 17 years ago I wrote about one flowering in a garden somewhere down south Canterbury way - Geraldine area? Memory gone, files gone: bugger. Apparently it's an epic stink.

Morning, all. Just a little early morning experiment.

Wonder ifWhattalottawondering, sounds like Hebe can answer some of that.
Went back twice yesterday, the queue was a double loop around the winter garden. By late evening they’d closed it off to any new queuers, trapping the existing queuers inside for us to watch like animals in the zoo. No noticeable smell : (
Bridal getaway and bridal getaway car from Saturday -
The queue reflected in the wintergarden pond. Reflected colours much brighter than the winter reflections caught there.
And while I’m at it, spring reflected in the duck pond.

surely, reflections on ponds
would be - ponderings...

I don't have a smartphone camera,
but if I did these Rubberband Macro Lenses look pretty nifty...
wonder if they have a pirate-style alice band / eyepatch headbandanalens? -
The frill is gone.
Well, going.Determined to check out the pong, i returned today to the Wintergarden. The crowds were much thinner, the pong was stronger on Saturday, the flower has started it’s decline.

I still has to wait 30 minutes at lunch time yesterday.
Seemed it could do with a Gothic b & w treatment.
