Here are a number of photos taken at Pukeiti Gardens in New Plymouth. Some varieties had not started flowering while others had almost finished and as they had heavy rain in the previous weeks some bushes had lost some flowers. The Gardens are a "must see" during late October and November and you will find plenty of volunteers to provide maps and local knowledge of the area. You can also purchase plants to take home, however we apparently have a major problem with aphids in Northland

There is a very pleasant drive to and from the Gardens and on a clear day, you can get a great view of Mt Taranaki (Mt Egmont in the old days)
