Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Jos,
A rainy day so played with bulbs in pots…
A hyacinth! I can smell it from here...

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Jackie Clark,
the flowers. So beautiful.
Aren’t they, though. Plant porn! All those immodest angiosperms. ;-)

Some very fine artwork in these posters.
Why do we care so much what foreigners think of our scenery? We already know it's amazing. And it's not like most of us can take any credit for it. The geysers aren't hand-cranked...
I was amused recently when a Canadian friend, visiting NZ for the first time, discovered that we call ourselves "kiwis" after the bird, not the fruit.

Hard News: Christchurch: Is "quite good"…, in reply to Islander,
Do you remember that cafe in High Street near the Cashel corner? It had orange vinyl and an order system on a wire thing like a flying fox across the roof.
You don't mean Java, Hebe?
Those flyingfox (excellent name for it) and hydraulic tube cash transfer/receipt systems existed into the v.early 1970s-
I remember them well, in Ballantynes particularly; also used by the Star to send classifieds from their office in the Square to their main building in Kilmore St. My sister, who worked at the Star for a while, said someone once sent a packet of biscuits down the tube instead, as a joke, but all that arrived was a shower of crumbs.

Chaenomeles japonica!
Or, "else omelet" as autocorrect would prefer. :-)

Yeah, excellent show, and I like the blue-and-white, very smart!

Japanese flowering cherry.
Beautifully unreal!
Yeah, I’m pretty sure a team of people stay up all night assembling them. :-)

blossoms
Too soon for blossom here, so I'll go with one I prepared earlier. Late September. Japanese flowering cherry.

Sorry ’bout the lack of flowers
Hey, you've got sky-flowers, what could be grander than that? :-)
