Among the many oddities in nature are the strange formations found in flowers. Many of these seem to occur in Gisborne gardens. This pink overendowed double stamened Iceland poppy is held for us by Rosemaree and Auriette Casey in whose garden at 114 Stafford Street the flower was found.

Grahame Morrow, 136 Wainui Road, had the time of his life, and a great start to the holidays, when he landed this 5½ lb snapper. Giving him a hand to hold up the fish are his sister Dianne and brother Stephen. It tasted good too!

Another unusual freak was found in the Houthuyzen gardens at Wainui. This perfect spike of gladioli is rare in that the florets on the left side of the spike were pink with a red throat, while the florets on the right side were pure white with a red throat.

A new feature of the Kiwi Home Cookery in Derby Street is the Crocodile Bread. A special processed powder made from crocodile teeth is imported under bond and when added to the dough causes it to stretch in cooking and take the original shape of the crocodile body. Pictured with one of the new type loaves is baker Roland Croskery to whose establishment the process is exclusive.
