Auackland Botanic Gardens

I have got my Sister staying with me at the moment, so today we had an outing .. Visit to a cousin this morning and then on the lunch and a lovely walk around the Auckland Botanic Gardens .. The Gardens are looking spectacular with the roses in full bloom.. This is looking over the Old fashioned rose bed to the native bush as a back drop and the NZ Cabbage tree to the right ..
