Kōwhai blossom, and the Tui feeding on it, is one of the indelible memories of our visit to NZ. Magnificent!

Fabulous – it really deserves centre stage! I’m amazed by how densely packed it is with flowers. It must make your heart soar to see those against a brilliant blue sky. 🙂

Glad you like this Ellen, it’s a particularly nice form of the tree and well-suited to presiding over the entrance 🙂
