I'm always impressed that nature gives us such vibrant colours, no matter the time of year (well in New Zealand, anyway). This morning's photo is of our mandarin tree - it's not a very big tree, just less than 1 metre in height, but it packs a punch with fruit and colour.
Here are some big fruit - they look ripe, but don't come away from the tree easily and there is very little taste (another couple of weeks perhaps, especially if we have sunshine):

While we were out walking the other day I managed to get some good shots of the the toi toi flowers. A great feathery look to them!

Love the photos. The mandarin tree is so overloaded with fruit I am surprised that it hasn't fell over? Such a beautiful orange colour too.
Oh yes, Ruth - have to be patient to eat the fruit too. It's in a reasonably sheltered spot so that helps.
