| s/y Nine of Cups Flowers of New Zealand |
| New Zealand is lush and green. There seem to be different flowers, shrubs and trees in bloom all the time. I've taken an interest in photographing each new one I come across...wildflower or garden- variety. A local friend has helped with several identifications and he loaned me a book, What Flower Is It? (Stirling Macoboy), which has been helpful in identifying many of the rest. As always, if you can identify some that aren't tagged or see an error, I'd be much obliged if you'd get in touch. Note that I've used NZ common names when I could find them though they may be called something else in other places. |
