I went for a bit of a wander around Otari Wilton’s Bush this afternoon, lovely day. I’ve been there a few times before with my camera, and they have some amazing gardens of native plants. they have a sub-Antarctic garden, alpine gardens and heaps of stuff like manuka, native lily, cabbage tree and hebes. Not to mention the rimu, totara and kohekohe. Over 1400 native species are in there they reckon. And pretty much in the middle of Wellington, down the road from Zealandia – or Karori Wildlife Sanctuary – which has a fence to keep the predators out, and is home to many of our native birds.
I got a few shots of some plants, and here they are below. I’m pretty stoked with a couple, lemme know what you reckon. There’s more photos in the gallery at the end of the post than there are right here, too – if that makes any sense.. :D
Solid pics. The flax flower gets my top vote.
I dont know about flowers, i mean, they are a bit like seals.
