This little Pohutukawa bowl with coloured rim on a stand, was an experiment in turning thin and playing with colour, I’m not sure this is finished, I’m thinking of reducing the size and shape of the stand and caving and colourings the underside of the thin rim, watch this space. #wood #woodbowl #woodbowlart #pohutukawa #woodworker #woodturning #nzturning #newzealandnatural #newzeland #newzealandart #woodbowlturning #pohutakawatree #pohutakawawood

☀️⛴️ We took a ferry* over to Days Bay today, after a visit to Wellington Museum ⚓️ Enjoyed having a day as tourists 🤩 We really haven’t gotten out as much as we’ve wanted to since we arrived. 2024 definitely needs more adventures!

Pōhutakawa Trees are flowering Summers here in NZ! #pohutakawatree #nz
Tradition of making a wreath. The tradition of the wreath pre-dates the Victorians by centuries, but it was a tradition they embraced and made their own. European Victorian wreaths were elaborate and made with all types of evergreen foliage, such as holly, ivy and yew. To decorate they would use fruit and pine cones. In New Zealand the Pōhutukawa tree has come to signify Christmas, with it’s vibrant red flowers on show for Christmastime, thus making it a wonderful addition to the simple decorations of the early settlers to New Zealand back in the 1800’s. The use of evergreen branches in a wreath is to signify eternal life. Fresh wreaths could last 4 or 5 weeks outside in the cold northern hemisphere Christmas, while in a New Zealand summer you may find it wilts long before this! #christmas #pohutakawatree #traditions #christmastraditions #wreath #victorianlife #firthtower #firthtowermuseum #nzmustdo #historycomestolife #history #newzealandhistory #matamata #waikato #haurakirailtrail #motorhomestopover #vanlife #vanlifenz #newzealand #visitnewzealand

Pohutwig. Mahamotu, Grass, The pohutakawa pokemon Pohutwig > Kahikawa (level 27) Ability: Limber (get it because its a stick), Flower Veil (H) Stats: pff… mixed, maybe? I like this design, but I don't have many stat ideas for it. Moves: vine whip, power whip, razor leaf, petal dance, quiver dance, pollen puff, powder Limestone: when it spins, a whirlwind of pollen forms around its legs. Inhaling this causes a pokemon to start sneezing. Greenstone: its long, stick-like body is very flexible. It hides within the trees during the day, only coming out at night. What is it hiding from, nobody knows. Height: 0.1m Name Origin: pohutukawa + twig Design: a lil pohutukawa spite duder. Designed like the flower of the pohutukawa tree. They call it the New Zealand Christmas Tree because it always blooms around christmas time. #grasstype #grasstypefakemon #grasstypepokemon #pohutukawa #plantpokemon #flowerblossom #branch #treesprite #newzealandpokemon #pohutakawatree

Pohutakawa, der neuseeländische Weihnachtsbaum, gehört zu den Myrtengewächsen und ist vor allem auf der Nordinsel zu finden. Von Dezember bis Januar schmückt er sich mit prächtigen roten puscheligen Pinselblüten. #nz #pohutakawatree #russel

Pohutukawa are a popular native New Zealand flower for people to get tattooed.

If you want to see a spectacular range of Pohutakawa trees then it is well worth a drive to Sumner. They are in full bloom right now and the variety and intensity of the flowers is stunning. A true icon of Aotearoa! We have some gorgeous varieties available in our plant nursery including 'Maori Princess', 'Maungapiko' and 'Mistrel'. Lovely for your own garden or perfect as a Christmas gift for someone special. #metrosideros #pohutakawa #pohutakawatree #nativeplants #plantsnz #plantnursery #plantlife #weloveplants #canterburyplants #southernwoodsnursery #christchurchplantnursery #landscapedesign #christmasgiftideas #christmastreesnz #christmastree

It's been a long time since I made the time to draw. 🖤 Thanks in part to nose surgery 👃 and a bit of time off work, I have finally forced myself to pick up the pens and pencils, and I MADE time to draw. I tell you, it has been so rewarding. It's been such a joy letting creativity course through my veins again. I feel energised!! ✨ In a few short days, I put together a whole new range of cards and gift tags for Christmas. I have missed this space so much, and I had forgotten how much joy I get from drawing and making things, and just being lost in creative flow. I can't wait to show you what I've come up with!! 🤍 Hand-drawn Christmas goods will be available from Sunday night!! 🎄 Have a beautiful weekend everyone! . . . . #illustration #pohutakawa #pohutakawatree #nzartist #nzart #nzillustrator #christmascards #creativeflow #monochrome #christmas2022 #drawingoftheday #florals #sketchart #floraandfauna

❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️🌺 Pretty Pohutakawas! These were planted front of our property early and became a little invasive root wise so when young (about 5 yrs ag) we cut them back and moved them - 4 of them. We lost one but this year all 3 are flowering spectacularly! Just beautiful at this time of year! ❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️🌺 . . . . . #gardeningwiththedillons #myprideofplace #nzgarden #nzgardening #nzgardener #kiwigardener #kiwigarden #familygarden #wellingtongardens #greenhousegardening #tuihomeandgarden #gardeningnz #inmygarden #gardenlife #inmygardentoday #youarewhatyoueat #gardentotablenz #tuigardenandhome #homegrownveggies #nzchristmastree #pohutakawa #pohutakawatree #nznativetrees

I see red I see red I see red
Paint it, Red These incredible trees have stolen the show once again. It seems that every street you turn down is glowing red with pōhutukawa!

Just finished putting together 60 handcut, handfolded and hand painted #christmascards for a company to send out to their employees. They needed a quick turn around so we kept the design quite simple. We created our own #pohutakawa stencil especially for the project. Luckily the #pohutakawatree outside our home had started flowering so we could easily take our own reference photos to help create the stencil. #nzchristmas #handmadenz #handcrafted #handmadecards #christmasprojects #nzsummer #cardsforemployees #companychristmascards
The Christmas tree of Aotearoa - The Pohutakawa Tree 🌺 The tradition began back in 1857, when the red flowers of the Pohutakawa were displayed on table decorations at a feast put on by Ngāpuhi leader Eruera Patuone. Since then it has been a symbol of the holidays to New Zealanders both at home and abroad. #pohutakawatree #pohutakawa #christmastree #newzealandchristmas #newzealandtree #nativetrees #plantnativetrees #lovenativetrees #biodiversity #planttrees #plantingtrees #plantatree #protectthewild #rewildtheworld
