Mexican Night at Iona's. Dessert was two thirds healthy, one third chocolate, but totally yummy.

Ranunculus in Cream
I planted some ranunculus bulbs a while ago, not knowing what colours I had. The recent rain has definitely helped them thrive and I have a couple of beautiful cream flowers. I had a little bit of a play and came up with one photo and one photo with the colour boosted. I'm posting the second one because I really like the way the petals change colour to show where the light is hitting the flower.

Pretty Flowers
Some of my ranunculus have finally flowered. They're a lovely cream
colour and they've got so many petals. I think they look a little like a
crinoline petticoat upside down (or what I imagine an upside down
crinoline would look like). So pretty!!

Moon
I haven't got it quite right, or even remotely close, but there is a gorgeous moon out this evening. it's bright and clear and makes me feel calm and peaceful (if a trifle chilly).

Mt Eden Gardens
My friend took me along to Mt Eden Gardens today. I've never been. It was the tulip festival today. And sunny. So it seemed like a good day to go. I have to admit though, that I didn't actually take any photos of any tulips!
I did however, take some photos of a giant magnolia, a michela bubbles (if that's the name, I remember the bubbles bit, just not sure of the other one) and a pond.
It was lovely to just wander around for a while. it ended up taking longer than we expected and we needed the sustenance of a cuppa and a cake before going on our way. But the sunshine made it worth it.
