Kowhai

I planted a Kowhai tree in my garden several years ago - and this is its first year flowering.

Love the kowhai. Being the ageing hippies that we are, our daughter placenta is planted under one...lovely trees, lovely flowers (and oddly, poisonous to dogs...) Great shot, love the focus

Great shot and bokeh

@graemestevens thanks Graeme - nice sentiments (hippy!) i didn't know the flowers were poisonous to dogs.

Kowhai is a NZ native tree. Lovely and quite special

Love the bokeh. Did you get notification that I've uploaded a photo for your symmetry challenge?

@jocasta Hi!! thanks - no i didn't. I've not yet been able to do my challenge yet - because the weather here has been a bit rough. Hoping for something tomorrow!!
