Out with the old, in with the odd. Instead of a shop, consider us a more of a gallery for curious minds. Come as you are, explore and be inspired.

We just got a delicious drop of @nickvon_k jewellery….and another lot just ordered. We love his jewellery - slightly dark but seeped in natural beauty!

🌸 Queenstown is in full bloom and so is Flora Fauna! 🌷 We have a range of spring gifts, including gorgeous cushion covers and cards from @helenbankers and a bunch (pun intended) of dried flowers. 💐

🌿🌱 Good to know that these babies can get some water on Wednesday! We can’t open the shop at Alert Level 3, but we can water the plants ☺️ #stayhome #nzlockdown #plantbabies

One has to wonder what hijinks these two might be up to during lockdown… Goodness knows what we’ll come back to!

These are blue morpho butterflies, perhaps most famous for their likeness as the butterfly emoji. 🦋 But did you know that the blue morpho isn’t technically blue? Our brains perceive them as blue, but they don’t contain any blue pigment. The colour is produced by light hitting the scales on their wings which contain a unique molecular structure that absorbs all colours of the spectrum except blue. When dipped in alcohol, the wings lose their colour, retaining it once the alcohol evaporates. Isn’t nature wild?!

This little lovebird is a recent addition to the gallery. She’s a rosy-faced lovebird and comes in a little bell jar. Do you know what continent they’re from?

The atlas moth (attacus atlas) is known as a “snake’s head moth” in Hong Kong, due to the serpentine features on the tip of the wings.
