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.

  2. Hi

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

    I had to look Ohaupo up on Google, so now that I know where it is, I'm sure it will thrive.

    Even the red carpet it leaves when it sheds its spindels is impressive
