Three Colours: Red

Over the next few days, I'll be posting some pictures that I took around our adopted neighbourhood just before we moved back home so that you can share some of the kiwi Christmas colour.

When I was growing up, the only bit of Christmas colour came from holly berries or a potted poinsettia - or our jolly decorations inside. But here, not only is the sun blazing for the festive season, so are the gardens, looking their best after the spring rains. Agapanthus and lilies grow like weeds and hyrdangea bushes are glorious. But I'm going to have to rely on Margaret to name this red flower for me...
