Our really talented daughter Mary ( easy to tell I'm her Dad!) has finished painting up the container door - we wanted it to look like the entry to a Maori whare ( or house). The dog image is of our recently deceased Cattle dog/ Border Collie cross and the bird is a New Zealand bird called a Pukeko. There is a very similar bird in Australia (and nearby to us, but not on our property) which is simply called a purple swamp hen. We are delighted with the result. Next to this is where the waterfall is to be constructed soon.
Also with the warmer weather and Spring, lots of flowers are coming out - this tongue orchid is growing on a Palm trunk. It has been growing on this trunk for about 15 years and never gets any water other than rain and no fertilising at all. Binomial name is Dockrillia linguiformis - previously it was known as Dendrobium linguiformis but the name was changed to reflect some unique features of which I am uncertain about.
