September 16th The Native of NZ

For those not familiar with the Kowhai tree, it is a native of New Zealand, and can be found no where else in the world. So it is pretty special. What I love is that you can walk past the tree one week and it is fairly bland looking,, with no buds. In what appears to be a few days, there appears to be an all over explosion of yellow and the tree is covered
