Food for thought...

Actually food for our native birds the tuis - they love the flax flowers.
So many beautiful bays and beaches in this day's drive but the lovely flax flowers caught my attention.

We've had Tui's in the garden recently, 4 yesterday all for our flax...Trying to get a photo of them is the hard part

[Maggiemae]

@graemestevens Keep trying - their colour and ruffles are so worth it!

[Rosan]

They're so pretty. Don't look anything like the ones we call flax in the US though.

[Maggiemae]

@fntngrma These are only the flowers, Rosan - the flax itself is like any other broad leafed plant that comes out and grows in a fan shape!

[Sally Ings]

Very interesting looking flowers.
