Model behaviour from a little teapot

Ballantyne Haines was anything but short and stout when she modelled as a teapot during the Exotica Wearable Flower Parade in Christchurch yesterday.

Haines was participating in the Exotica Wearable Flowers Parade at Christ Church Cathedral modelling a creation by fabric artist Jenny Gillies.

Hundreds of people packed the cathedral for the event, which is part of the Festival of Flowers organised by the Christchurch Garden City Trust.

The festival runs until February 18. Activities include guided garden walks, exhibitions, flower competitions, garden parties and performances.

Businesses and residents are also encouraged to decorate their offices and homes.
