Last Sunday daughter Renee came up and we decided to visit Araluen, a park not far from where we live. These are a few of the photos I took there. The waterlilies were gorgeous.
So were these – I momentarily can’t remember what they’re called!
The bush looked a bit dry but the creek was still running.
There is still time to enter my giveaway – it’s drawn on Monday. Details in a previous post.
Hi Linda, the flowers you don’t know their name are Hortensia, You can dry them and put the flowers under a screen to screenprint them or you can put them under organza and sew them on a quilt.

I thought they were Hydrangeas but then I am not a gardener so I might easily be wrong and that wouldn’t be the first time either.
Me again–I just Googled it and they are the same flower :-}} silly me.
I didn’t know Hortensias were Hydrangeas! Fancy 😉 Looking forward to mine conming out this summer.
Lovely new work below, love that monoprinted one. . I think your nz piece is great, I’d just highlight all over the place with gold, but then I can’t resist it!
I see I was the first to comment re giveawy, not that I’m greedy or anything 😉
Our Spring in the USA is now approaching. It is always a time of wonder as we see our plants come to life again. You have some wonderful pictures to inspire you.
Our granddaughter’s name is Araluen- place of waterlillies in Aboriginal language.
