[Richard]

You could join https://vgy.me/ then dont BB Coded Direct Image Link because it comes up here as a large photo and forum rules are no external photo sharing. But if you were to post the 'Direct Link' https://vgy.me/jbnOp6.jpg then others only just click on that link and that leads to the storage host site and view it there.

[Richard]

vgy.me is a good photo storage, very simple and fast upload times.

At the Orari Estate on the main road you head north just past the Orari River Bridge.
We went as we were interested in the lilies as we had some growing here in behind the woodshed.

[Richard]

Oh ok, did the flower have any stink to it?

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

A bit of a smell to them.
There's a Himalayan Lily open day up at Mt. Peel this Sunday if anyone's interested, where the Ackland's are showing off their cardiocrinum giganteums
The local Geraldine Morris dancers will be there
Here is a picture of one of them behind our woodshed.
