Hellebores

I went to the Garden Centre in Mitre10 today to buy goodies such as Slug Bait and Borer Bombs. In contrast to those goods I treated myself to two new Hellebores... such gorgeous plants. This afternoon I sat mesmerized watching, live on the Internet, President Obama's electrifying and inspirational speech in support of Hilary Clinton at the National Democrats Convention in Philadelphia. At times I, a mere Kiwi, was moved to tears. It was by far the very best speech I have ever heard in all my life. He is a star!
