A sure sign of Christmas is blooming outside my window in our back yard this morning. It's a Pohutukawa tree (pronounced just like it looks, like most Maori words) otherwise known as the New Zealand Christmas tree. It's a native NZ tree found mostly along the coasts that blooms brilliant red blossoms every year at Christmas time. We're lucky enough to have a rather large one on our property that is over 3 stories tall and visible from every rear-facing window, including the bathroom where I took these pics since it's raining today. It's a real treat to see it each year.
