Lovely cross-stitch kit by New Zealand designer Lyn Manning - finished size 5 cm x 16 cm. Includes Zweigart white Aida band, DMC stranded cotton, needle, graph and instructions.

Includes the Rainbow Lorikeet and Waratah.

The rainbow lorikeet is native to coastal regions from northern Queensland to Southern Australian along the eastern coastline. Colonies of rainbow lorikeets have since established in Perth in western Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. The rainbow lorikeet lives in the trees of the rainforest, the bush, and the woodlands.

Australia’s famous waratah (genus Telopea) is an Australian-endemic genus of five species of large shrubs or small trees, native to the southeastern parts of Australia (New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania). The best-known species in this genus of the red is Telopea speciosissima, which has brightwand red flowers and is the New South Wales (NSW) state emblem.
