End and full bloom

The kaka beak (Clianthus) flowers are finishing and dropping on the ground. The leptospermum choral candy (an Australian not NZ manuka) is iin magnificent full bloom.

I usually sit beside the leptospermum with my coffee or herb tea 'being' rather than 'doing'. Not today, it's freezing cold.

Today's gratitude: For an amazing pumpkin curry prepared by my home help.
