Trillium Weekend in New Zealand

[Lesley Cox]

On October 8th and 9th, NZ Trillium Group will celebrate its 10th Anniversay in Timaru with another of the annual weekend events that have been so popular and enjoyable in the past. No doubt a few Forumists will post pictures after the event.

Good to see you again Lesley.

Some more nice plants, and sad to see the Irish boys out of the World cup.
Wales have an awesome team and are looking so good, I think they will give the All Blacks a run for their money in the final.............
Fingers crossed.

What a beautiful garden, with some super plants, I love that DSC_0667.JPG.  Thanks for showing us Doug.

Good to meet you again too Doug. I thought your transition from Trillium to rugby wasn't even subtle there, until I saw the little guys in green jersies.

Nice pics of him with the knobbly knees.

Got a bit of watering to do then I'll be back to here and pic processing. On the first day I took one shot then had a "batteries need replacing" message on the screen. Of course the spares were locked up in my camera case in Tim's car but for the rest of the day I had an official photographer and those will arrive in due course, on a disc from Oz. I have the second day's pics though.

Erythronium hybrids
Kaka beak - Clianthus puniceus.
Lysichiton americanus - I was drooling!
A nice sunset down the back of the garden this evening.

Some last shots of Trilliums, Fritillaria and gardens.
Finishing up with a two more NZ natives, Celmisia hookeri and Clematis cunninghamii.(Can someone please confirm the Clematis id)
Look forward to some more shots from the weekend.
Cheers,
Doug.

Guess that's what happens when one pays far too much attention to a set of knobbly knees Lesley.

Nice pics Doug --well captured.

Yes a great weekend, well organized and we saw some super plants not all Trilliums.
Here are a few 'others' taken during the weekend and in a couple of gardens i visited on the way home.

A few yummy yellows and other colours that took my fancy during the stops on the way home.

Cheers Dave.
