Today we headed over to the Domain for Joan and Steve to meet some other friends, so we took the opportunity to explore somewhere new. The Wintergardens offered a diverse range of plants.
One of the glasshouses was tropical with an impressive lily pond as the central piece.
The second glasshouse is more temperate with amazing floral fragrances.
We then had a wander around the rest of the Domain and came across this Valkyrie statue which had been donated to the park by a R S Hellaby in 1929, who we have subsequently discovered to be a famous NZ born artist.
