The bottom tree looks like the Banksia nut which I have seen in Australia. I even posted an entry about this plant, last year after my trip to Oz. Great shots! Thanks for sharing and visiting. Have a great day!
Me again, you can see the Banksianut in my post of 28th September 2008. It's named after the botanist Banks on board of the Endeavour of Captain Cook. I hope you'll like it.
Kia ora, Beautiful shots and so representative of our unique flora and fauna. We live in a truly wonderful place and must make sure we keep it that way. Must be cold up in the Naki today! It sure is here in Palmy. Cheers, Robb

The second one is a Monkey Puzzle. I don't know the others but thats one of my favourite trees.
ReplyDeleteThat is one unusual tree. Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteAnd a very beautiful world it is. That unknown tree is very unusual.
ReplyDeleteThe tree is a Banksia, native to certainly Australia, I'm not sure about NZ.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the identifications, marja, sixstars and arija! I haven't been here very long and there is so much that I want to know!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snaps.
