They seem mostly to be cool bush plants, a lot in the general forested environs of Dunedin but many have found their way, by birds I suppose into our town gardens. Flowers are scarlet and could be mistaken for swags of Embothrium.

Lesley,

I think I remember pics of your lovely red Mistletoes that have been posted in the past.  An absolute blaze of colour from memory.  I look forward to pics when they're in flower again. 8)

I've seen red/orange mistletoes in Port Douglas.

Why don't you put a sticker of a flower on your doors and be a plant loving hoon?  8)

We've had a recent craze in Australia of Frangipani and Lilium stickers on your car windows, in the corners of the back window etc.  They have to be the tackiest things ever invented.  Would put me off the idea of any flower on my car, to put it mildly.  Now if I could find a nice Red Dragon sticker, that would fit.  ;D

Actually, only coming in slightly behind are these awful stick figure families stickers that you put on your car windows as well. You can get all sorts of different figures to represent the members of your family (and pets).  The majority of these are just so lame it is embarrassing, but there are a couple of sets that I don't mind as there is some humour to them or actually taking the micky out of the whole stick figure window stickers craze.  ::)

I just had a look to find a link to show you the stick figures, in case you didn't know what I was talking about.......

Just put "stick figure stickers" into google and have a wander.  I like the Psychotic and Alternative ones myself, but be warned some of them are not for the faint hearted.  I just laughed myself silly (sillier?) looking through some of them.  I had no idea that there were so many possibilities.  I might actually have to get some of the more interesting ones for the ute.  ;D ;D

And then there are the I hate stick figure family stickers posts, also not for the faint hearted.

So John, I really must thank you for suggesting the flower sticker, because as a result of that I have had an absolute ball researching into the alternative stick figure family sites.  ;D  Now I am even happier. ;)

And in answer to the obvious question, no I am not on any mind altering substances, I just have a quirky sense of humour as some of you may have guessed in the past.
Cheers.

Hmmmm :-\ I can see why these stick figure family stickers are popular over there and I get the feeling that these might be coming to Europe too. Haven't seen them yet though.

Maybe you should stick to a fox tail on your antenna and a couple of dices hanging on your rear view mirror Paul and be a genuine hoon...... 8) ;D

Ah, the good old fluffy dice.  Never looked good, never will.  ;D

Now the foxtail on the antenna on the other hand.....  ;)

We have the stick figure things here too in car windows. Can't see the point myself but I'll look in Google. Could do with a laugh. ;)
