Flora and Otto have found a new home on the daffodil lawn beside the Botanic Gardens in Hagley Park.

I first saw these pieces in Colombo Street five years ago. The mosaics are made from china which was cracked during the Christchurch earthquakes. They make a quirky and comely earthquake memorial.
Now any daffodil explorer
may chance to meet Otto and Flora

The Green Room at 599 Colombo Street has lost its lovely mosaic chair and ottoman.

Who knows what’s happening? Maybe the chair and ottoman will reappear somewhere else?
“I miss that fine mosaic chair.
and wonder if it’s gone elsewhere?”
