Ellerslie Flower Show

We walked with friends over the Ellerslie Flower Show in Hagley park. This yearly event moved about four years ago from Auckland to Christchurch. It was my first visit and I loved it. Here some impressions:

This looks like the mad hatters party

Inside a big dark tent we walked along a cave and through west coast like gardens presenting the underworld of Ruaumoko, the god of earthquakes. In this magical world we discovered trolls which were made as an illustration for the gloaming trilogy


You almost would give this sleeping beauty a cuddle. So cute 


Beautiful sculptures alongside the lake outside

  1. This is like a world of many fantasies! The first image is so serene and tempting! And the little dancing frogs are the cutest idea!
