This is a photo of one of the lawns around our house. In the forground on the left is a toi toi bush. These are also sometimes called tui tui bushes, it's a matter of pronounciation. There is a stream on our farm which has quite a number of these pretty plants and not suprisingly it's called (wait for it...) Tui Creek.
The next time I go home (probably not until Christamas I am afraid) I will try and get a more expressive photo for you.

I think we get those here, sadly they are considered a pest as they get into the waterways and choke everything. I do like the look of them though!
Yeah, they are very pretty. Especially their big fluffy flowers. However the leaves are serrated, I don't know how many times I've been cut between the toes racing past in bare feet!
I see a lot as I kayak down the river.. there is nothing worse than being cut by them and "cut grass" stings like crazy
Bit behind with reading other's blogs but have finally got round to reading your Easter posting - brilliant!
By the way, what DID happen to your robot...?
A
Hey, yeah the robot!
We passed the course but never got it made. If I could manufacture a compact, mobile, rechargeable power supply for it then we could have gone into the programming which is what we wanted to do in the first place. However I don't have all the parts for the power supply and work has taken priority anyway.
Sorry about that!
hey ju's! note the dot in the centre of your cluster map.. its on or about Alice Springs in Australia...
I thinkits Pine GAp.. the American spy centre!!! interesting!!!
Really?
So you're a mild mannered auctioneer by day and dashing American spy by night?
I don't believe you, you're far to Aussie!
Hmmmm and I was thinking of asking him to make sure he comes to visit when he does his promised SI trip ......
PS Maalie has been quiet lately
Maalie is off to Russia ;-)
But not quite yet... tomorrow morning...
