kowhai2

this is the first year my little tree has flowered, so proud!

i tried my zoom lens set on 35mm which can focus closer, so this is also 35mm focal length (50mm equivalent on crop-sensor) but looks totally different field of view!
oh and yeah that is my finger top right corner , part of my digital lenshood lol

@jackies365 kowhai is native to newzealand, several species of native bird adore it for its nectar and buds , splendid as a small tree

You should be proud! :) It makes me smile. It is so fun to see the fruits of your labor. Lovely!

[Margo Sayer]

Remarkable in so far as the foliage is tiny compared with these luscious flowers. Does it have a lovely scent too?

[kali]

@s4sayer not much scent, but they drip with nectar for the birds

[Wendy]

[kali]

@photohoot they are in my other album... i should just change them over to here
