Spring is just around the corner, or it feels like it when walking the streets of Gisborne!
The jasmine in our garden is flowering. It is considered a weed in New Zealand, but I personally love it. A bunch of the delicate white flowers in a room provides a beautiful fresh fragrance, better than any spray!

The streets are filled with flowering camelias, and the magnolias are blossoming too, it's a pink fest. About the only time I love pink (I've never been a huge pink lover. Blame it on my tomboy-ishness!).

I agree - jasmine is yummy! Shame it's considered a weed, I didn't know this! I'm surprised that palmy is showing signs of spring too, were usually a little behind comparedto the sunny north :)
