A big event this weekend is the Ellerslie Flower Show, which is proving such a smash hit in Christchurch that it's causing headaches for the organisers.
Fifty-thousand tickets were presold and over 70,000 visitors are expected through by the end of the weekend.
One of stars of the show is Jenny Gillies' wearable weeds, but the line to get in is long - with some waiting for over two hours to get a look.
The Ellerslie show is a tremendous hit, with the large crowds lapping up exhibits.
The Ellerslie Flower Show runs until Sunday 15 March.
