The pohutukawa tree is nicknamed the Kiwi Christmas Tree as it flowers at Christmas time.  With the false start summer this year it’s been a bit hit and miss whether the pohutukawa has flourished.  The ones on our land certainly haven’t but the one I snapped yesterday is the most stunning floral display I’ve seen this year.  As I was mesmorised through my lens there a man came up to me and said it was almost fluorescent and he was right. The colour, the texture and the contrast with the clear blue sky it was Christmas revisited.
