I was sorting through / clearing out files on my laptop earlier this week when, amongst my New Zealand images, I came across a temp folder of flowers. The shots were taken on 20 September 2014, when I was back in New Zealand for a couple of months, and the setting is the glasshouses of the Wintergardens in Auckland Domain, the photos taken, no doubt, on one of my many long strolls in that magnificent park. So, on this, the coldest day of winter so far here in Wales, here are some bright and cheerful hothouse flowers to offset any chill you might be feeling. Enjoy!
