Merry Christmas from down-under in New Zealand … although we do use pine and conifer (and artificial) for our Christmas trees, we call the pohutukawa our ‘Christmas tree’ as it flowers over Xmas and the summer period.(Dec /Jan)
This photo was taken on the Chatham Islands at my hotels breakfast table! I love the contrast of the blue glass and the red flowers.
