Tui in Kowhai heaven by kiwinanna

Tui in Kowhai heaven

It was so surprising to me that the kowhai trees are flowering already. I was excited to find this Tui so besotted with the nectar it didn't bother about me prowling below. They brightened up the day with their beautiful colours.

@julzmaioro I was quite surprised and pleased to find some kowhai trees in flower. It is so early.

@kiwinanna Could be the smaller Golden Dragon variety .. seems to flower at weird times..

Very iridescent and nicely framed by the yellow flowers.

@julzmaioro I have never heard of that variety. Maybe that is so - all my other kowhai trees are not yet flowering.

@shutterbug49 Thank you - I do love the native tai but they are quite elusive to capture
