Christmas Rata

Well it is not far from Christmas now, 2 more sleeps as some would say.
I have not felt christmassy at all, but today when my friend and I were in the Christchurch Botanical Gardens, I saw this Southern Rata flowering, and that made me think of Christmas a little more.
We had fun experimenting with our cameras, and trying some different things.
I was going to put up a multiple of ferns, but decided that this one fitted the occasion more.
