Flowering now!



This magnificent pohutakawa is in full bloom on the slopes of Whanake. The image would have been better but Sunday was a day of variable weather! Elsewhere the pohutakawas were just starting to bloom, to celebrate the beginning of Coromandel's Pohutakawa Festival.

Down on the Tuateawa shore, protected by overhanging pohutakawa, the rengarenga lilies were also in full bloom. It is very pleasing to see the number of young seedlings growing at their base.
