Dogwood Daisy Tree

We enjoyed son Duncan’s overnight visit. He dug up a number of cabbage tree seedlings growing wild in our garden. We also found a kowhai seedling and he happily departed with all those goodies to plant in his property. He has a bad head cold and cough which we hope he has kept to himself.
Dogwood Daisy trees are flowering all around the district. Our tree is hidden amongst other big trees and these three flowers, although imperfect specimens, are high in the tree. I had to stretch somewhat to get within photographic reach. I have had a very busy day in the garden, raking up mountains of fallen cherry tree flowers and petals. I spread them for mulch under some trees. I was eventually able to mow the lawns.
