Alyssum

Alyssum is a great ground cover in the garden. It also attracts many small pollinators.

Christchurch

Castle Hill climbing.

We flew to Christchurch and visited old haunts. Okeover community garden, gemstone beaches, buses and malls.

Remembered what was there. Admired the resilience and creativity of the people rebuilding.

Had a beautiful night at Hinewai reserve.

Tiger beetle

Tiger beetles share our banks with Native Bees. They are fast hunters darting in and out of holles.
