New Zealand Christmas Trees or Pohutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa ) can bee seen flowering at this time of the year in the more Northern regions of NZ. The ones in the photo are on our driveway. We have several areas on the property with these lovely trees and they are all a little different, some lighter colour, some darker and they don't all do their thing at once so we are able to enjoy them for several weeks.
When we finished work last evening we got in the truck and drove around the orchard shelter belts till we found a suitable branch of Cryptomeria to cut and bring inside for our Christmas tree.( it has that lovely fir tree smell and will last well.) Here it is with just the light strung on it. Decorations still to be added.

You're making me glad it's not grass growing season here... lol
I absolutely hate to mow grass, all the bugs flying up and getting in your mouth or up your nose, the dust (if it's dry enough to mow, then it's dusty) and all the itchy little clippings stuck to your sweaty skin... plus, I think I'm slightly allergic to it all... *sneezes*... uggh.
