Closer

From yesterday's shots of the gum flowers.

Jay's recovery will be slow (in terms of weeks) as his medication levels stbilize. Thank you so much for your well wishes.

Thanks for the views, comments and favs for "Gum Nuts". Very much appreciated.

Grateful for all blessings

@happypat Dr Google suggests the name of the NZ Christmas Tree is Pohutukawa

[Dianne]

@happypat yes, as Brian says it is pohutukawa. Or as our young kids used to say, hutupokawa… a name we still jokingly use!

[Pat Knowles]

@briaan @dide That’s the word! Thank you both. Dry similar I think! A beautiful tree.
I hope Jay continues to do well.
