The Kowhai tree is a New Zealand native and provides a blaze of spring colour.
Kowhai is the Maori word for yellow.
I am fortunate to have a large specimen in my garden (now grown taller than the house)
The blossom nectar is loved by the Tui but I have not been lucky enough to have one visit. Very occassionaly I get a Bellbird though :)
Taken with Canon EOS450D (60mm macro lens).. Thank you for your views and any comments.

Lyn, I don't know what a 'tui' is, so I had the intention to ask you to capture one, but read that noone has visited your garden up till now, lol.
Beatiful image of Kowhai tree blossoms.

Regards, Cornelius.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Very pretty and wishing New Zealand all the very best for the final on Sat. Sadly though, Alain Rolland is a linesman can you believe, so not sure what is going to happen. I do hope he doesnt cheat you out of your victory xxx
