Eden Gardens - tulips...




Hello dear friends
as many of you already know
I live down under in
New Zealand


where it is now
Spring time.
I took these photos at
Eden Gardens here


It is a 5 acre garden in central Auckland
containing a large collection of
plants and shrubs beneath
a canopy of huge old trees.
Camellias, Vireya Rhododendrons, Azaleas,
Roses and perennials which provide
year round interest.



Today I'm joining
Mary for Mosaic Monday
Thank you for your visits and comments
and welcome to my new followers
it's lovely to meet you!
À bientôt 

and be kind to one another


Shane

  1. How I wish we were looking at those lovely spring flowers here right now. I really do like fall, but truly hate winter. Knowing that fall leads directly into the dreaded winter makes it not my favourite time of year.

  4. Oh, what pretty tulips. Autumn arrived here today with a storm, and these tulips are so fresh and pink they make me long for spring already. But I'll get into fall mode pretty soon. Still, it's so nice to see spring flowers blooming somewhere in the world. Thanks, Shane.

  5. Pink is my favorite color. Your flowers are beautiful.I marked your post tonight as a favorite so I can look at it in the winter. I do so dislike winter.

  8. We are seeing red leaves here, so your tulips are a joy and a reminder that when winter comes, spring will come after!

  17. Hi Shane,

    So nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by Poppy View.

    I love tulips as they remind me of my child home in Toronto, Canada, such sweet memories of my girlhood!

    Your photos are beautiful, such a fresh and lovely pink in the tulips!

    Happy Spring, to you!

  18. Those are beautiful tulips, Shane! Such a lovely color. I was just looking at tulip bulbs on Saturday ... here in New England this is the time of year to plant the bulbs so they'll come up in the Spring. Wishing you a lovely week ahead.

  19. Beautiful springtime. Love tulips! Just as we are settling in for a loooooong winter here in Wisconsin, you're enjoying spring! New Zealand is where you have perfect weather year 'round, right? At least that's what I hear. :-)

  28. Hello Shane
    It is so nice to see such pretty tulips like those you've shown in your post. Where I now live in the state of Colorado in the US, not many people grow tulips as the deer will eat them like candy, so I missed them this spring. Your photo mosaics are lovely!
