Cold weather has driven me into my archives. This is a pohutukawa tree--called the New Zealand Christmas tree since it usually blooms about that time of year.
I was thinking about how different Christmas must be in the southern hemisphere, occurring in "summer". It's interesting to see how it is celebrated down under.
