Pukekos On The Roadside Verge

A dresser top full to overflowing with flowers. En masse. Daffodils, jonquils, gerberas, day lillies, alstromaria, gorgeous creamy white spikey crysanthemums, miniature orchids, birds of paradise. The pleasure is all mine. Pukekos on the roadside verge. My well-ensconced and welcome neighbours. Parsley and primula waving from outside the window. Tall kauri and kaihikatea. Solid sentinels. Guarding the ridge. Intermittent sunshine.
