Continue reading →: Flowers on Ferry RoadThese are some flowers that are growing in a vacant lot in Woolston on Ferry Road. They are quite extensive and attractive. I’m guessing someone has thrown in a few seed bombs – and aren’t they doing well!

Continue reading →: Bulgarian Martenitsa Tree Botanic GardensI spotted this tree in the weekend (not sure if it’s still there).
