Merry Christmas ... From New Zealand..

Our Pohutukawa tree is in full flower .. I went to get some close up shots of them but the wind was blowing them about too much to get a shot so I picked them and made a Christmassy creation..

[Maggiemae]

I would think this was the best way to show the vibrance and colour of this tree flower - pick it and put it where it looks the best! Very Christmassy!

[Issi Bannerman]

Just beautiful! What a lovely Christmas display and a great capture!

[Nick]

Lovely display - really Christmassy.

[Lesley Chisholm]

It is just so pretty. I hope you will use it for a centrepiece on the Christmas table!

[Pam Knowler]
