For all our sighing about winter and rain and wind, we're happy to say that our much anticipated Spring has arrived! August began as winter and ended in a beautiful, flowery, green Spring! Below are some of the many beautiful scenes we've experienced in the past several weeks.
Trees in bloom in the countryside.
Millions of daffodills along The Promenade through giant old trees in a city park.
These beautiful tulip trees also come in a deep, deep, almost purple-magenta color.
Hillsides of this yellow prickley bush, and daisies blooming everywhere in Spring-green grass.
Clumps of calla lilies blooming in the wild! Here I thought they were a pampered garden plant.
The next four pictures were taken in a hothouse in the Auckland Domain. Gorgeous displays of everything Spring you can think of. These are primroses and TALL snapdragons.
Yellow and orange tulips, with orchids in back of them. 
A giant display of every kind of tulip you can think of, and a Dutch windmill besides!
Outside in the park, lillies bloomed everywhere, here along a duck pond.
And in our own little retirement village, every yard is bursting with something in bloom.
Big clumps of daisies... 
and a rhododendron covered on blooms.
We feel so fortunate to be here and see all the great beauties around us. Hope you enjoyed seeing them too.
