3rd city Dunedin = Edinburgh in Scotland

Arrived to the smell of freshly bake

Dhuha welcomed us with tea and brownies

later we had rice with grilled tandoori chicken

food was splendid but weather was unpredictable

Better wrap up 

as we may face 4 seasons in a day

it will be horrible if it snow

with mittens, socks and bubble jacket

we were off to the botanical garden

blessed with long days

it was still bright at 5 pm

can you know the difference between

oregano, thyme, terragon or sweet marjoram?

At the herb garden we tried to figure it out

mint and basil have thick leaves like pudina

dill has yellow flowers, while rosemary bears white

all these are culinaries in our kitchen

daisy like flower is chemomille tea

purple is obviously lavender

both are popular in aromatheraphy

roses are special

there were varieties of colours and species here

grandiflora  like Arabella, Queen E2,   

floribunda like Kristin and French Lace,
hybrid type in Black Magic, St Patrick
shrub type in Ballerina
white rose call Fairy Snow
red one is My Valentine also Pride of England
Cleopatra the mauve rose
 Birthday Girl the yellow rose

sizes are large in temperate condition

colourful  lupins  are abundance

lotus and hyacinth so graceful

blue bells and violets easily spotted
hydrangea in lilac
between begonia or petunia
geranium or fuschia
i can also get confused
bulbs like daffodils or  tulips are nowhere
as they were out during spring
