A Maori legend says that puawananga and whauwhaupaku are the offspring of Puanga (Rigel, the bright star of Orion) and Rehua (Antares, the bright star of Scorpion). Their rising as morning stars signals the approach of summer, and the period between these two events (June to November) coincides with the flowering, first of whauwhaupaku and then puawananga
@psychegrrrl thx I do love photographing flowers. I had some time off from photography after a 2-month trip, and will be posting some file shots of flowers I saw while travelling
