Changi Airport’s Butterfly Garden is one of the better ways to kill time at an airport when you have a five hour layover – very cool indeed!

‘A Passion For Summer’
…this passion fruit flower in the garden today is a harbinger of the coming summer in Aotearoa/ New Zealand, and where there’s flowers, there’s the promise of delicious fruit! can’t wait…

‘Passion Flower’
The passionfruit vine at the back of the garden is now flowering and bearing new fruit.
A couple of ants at the centre of the pictured flower are enjoying a taste before we do…

From the ” you don’t know what you don’t know ” department:
Three fresh figs ( there’s a wee tongue twister for you) were placed on my work desk this morning by the eccentric but generous woman who visits, and tries to sell all sorts of stuff to, the locals at the marae.
I looked up and had no idea what they were initially, until she told me. I had only seen them in dried form previously.
They look cool, and a little alien, but I haven’t eaten one yet.
Maybe I just want the mystery and kindness of the random gift to continue a little longer…
