Native flowers

I walked over to this dwarf kowhai yesterday fearing that all the leaves had yellowed and we're going to drop off. When I got closer, I could hardly believe that it had actually produced such a splendid display of flowers only six months after planting. 


This manuka is a few years older but it's still trying hard - I hope that its seeds spread into the regenerating bush adjacent to this border. It'd be lovely to have deep pink amid the more common white flowers.  


This hebe was planted about four years ago now and seems well-established now. I think I'll plant a few more along the edge of the existing bush now I know that they do well in that spot.
