This weeks prompt is: INSPIRATION
On my daily walks, just after New Year, I discovered this NZ Christmas tree. It’s the first time I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I was inspired by the look and beauty of the”bush” and its bright red blooms. It gave me INSPIRATION to know that nature is still thriving.

Does anyone know if this is a Rata or Pohutukawa “bush”?
Silent Sunday
My new garden
Lots of apricots. I hope they ripen before the hot weather turns cold again.
Flowers in my garden.
Spring indeed!
Kōwhai (Māori pronunciation: [kɔːɸai] or [kɔːfai]) are small woody legume trees within the genus Sophora that are native to New Zealand. There are eight species, with Sophora microphylla and S. tetraptera being the most recognised as large trees. Their natural habitat is beside streams and on the edges of forest, in lowland or mountain open areas.[1] Kōwhai trees grow throughout the country and are a common feature in New Zealand gardens. Outside of New Zealand, kōwhai tend to be restricted to mild temperate maritime climates.
The blooms of the kōwhai are widely regarded as being New Zealand’s national flower,[2] although they have no official status as such.[3]
The word kōwhai is also used in the Māori language for the colour yellow, because of the colour of the flowers.[4]
The spelling kowhai (without a macron) is common in New Zealand English.

One of the After School Care boys made this “structure”. It works with four batteries.
Without structure, we won’t see a flower.
