Our pohutukawa tree is almost in full bloom now, I’d say about three-quarters completed.  That is enough to really draw in the garden birds.

Our Pohutukawa tree is showing a few more flowers today, which are proving a real attraction for birds.  Here’s one: I’m sure there will be more to come.

We know that Christmas is almost upon us when our Pohutukawa tree starts to flower.  It almost always times it so that it is covered with scarlet blooms by Christmas Day.   This year the tree looks like it will have a great display.
