Every spring, Wellington's hills have a purple eruption. This is a South African import, pink ragwort (Senecio glastifolius for the gardeners), a perennial and a daisy weed here. Seems to be what we called a coloniser in bush regeneration - it regularly pops up all over on Wellington's rotten rock and rubbish soil, turning the town purple and helping other plants get a grip.
Took this shot a couple of weeks back, walking up to the graffitied battlement on Miramar peninsula.

ReplyDeleteHello traveller! Got the Vancouver postcard, beside me as I type at the kitchen table, with mist a la Robertson rolling by the window. Glad you're back and yes, we were wondering where you were...
