Kaikoura Pohutukawa flowers




The Pohutukawa -
with masses of brilliant crimson to deep red flowers at Christmas time, is known as the New Zealand Christmas tree.

Today I'm feeling a little 'festive' so have added these blooms to this blog.

This Pohutukawa pic is from a tree at the beach in Kaikoura.

Looking through the trunks of the Pohutukawa trees to the Kaikoura vista beyond. I remember this day well - the smell of the ocean, the warmth of late afternoon summer sun...

The thought of going there became a nice memory...
