Magnificent flowering pohutakawa in New Zealand from wikipedia:
I love the colours of Christmas in New Zealand. All along the beaches of the Auckland waterfront the pohutakawa trees are in bloom with picturesque crimson colours beside the sea shore. In many of the parks
and seaside coastal areas can be seen this spectacular Christmas Tree of nature. There have also been tree planting programmes known as Project Crimson.
I was in Cleveland, Brisbane a few weeks ago and the streets of the town were lined with wonderful bottle brush trees which add so much beautiful colour to the Christmas season. Also the beautiful purple of the jacaranda trees were in full bloom giving a magical splendour.
Bottle Brush from wikipedia: a wonderful colour at Christmas:
I do hope one day for a White Christmas. It is quite wild and stormy on the Gold Coast of Australia today
but a relief from the hot weather of previous weeks.
Looking forward one day to a White Christmas:
