We have Spring.

The willows, which were brown sticks last week, are all green and fresh looking:


The blossom is just gorgeous by the Registry building (the original University of New Zealand) …


… and on the baby trees by the sculptures outside our newest lecture theatre building …

… which contains a café as well as the monster lecture theatre and some small seminar rooms:


I have no idea what this plant is - I was going to say flower, but I don't think it is a flower, I think it's one of those bract things - it's very eye-catching in the Botanical Gardens:


The camelias are out in force - I'm going to have to go for a walk through the rhododendron dell soon, it's coming up for that time.


This is the fancy sculpture at the main entrance to the Gardens:


It has cultural significance. Don't ask me what, but it has it.
