Kiseki to Maboroshi - Miracles and Illusions

The flowers in Rotorua (New Zealand) took my breath away. I saw just on sidewalks and center islands. Pink, white and red are expected, but look at that deep red-violet color. Beautiful!

These flowers in Mona Vale Garden (Christchurch, New Zealand) are yellow in the center, with petals starting dark violet at the center, and appear to be black in the sunlight.
