This one has been planted in a small garden between the supermarket's garden centre and the ramp for cars to go down to the lower carpark! ( I took this photo while coming up the trolley ramp) Usually I 'm not a fan of golden yellow flowers, but this Kowhai Tree is so beautiful, a spot of golden glory amongst all the grey concrete and urban walls. Inspired planting by the supermarket's owners!

Kowhai
Springtime is definately here in Wellington. All sorts of trees introduced from the Northern Hemisphere are starting to show their glorious blossoms and blooms, and the fruit trees are so welcome. My local supermarket has a garden section, with plants raised to cope with Wellington's frequent strong wind.

I have never seen a Kowhai Tree, but then I have only been as far as Australia and not to NZ! It looks really pretty and brightens the country up. Luv to both you and Zebby. Diane
mine isn't flowering yet - still too wintry down here.

I miss Kowhai here in Australia, apparently it will grow here but I have my doubts whether it would grow in Adelaide, I think the hot summers wouldn't be too good.
Very nice!
I have never heard of this one but it looks very pretty.

I've just got very interested in the Musa (banana)plant family. Do they grow in NZ?
That's a pretty little tree. It's so funny to see yours flowering as ours get ready to start turning colors and hibernating! Now Zebby will want to go frolic in the daisies again!

I agree that the trees with flowers of various colors adorn the areas with the construction of cement
Oh, how beautiful...thanks so much for the gorgeous photo.
