Silent Sunday—pohutukawa flowers on the footpath
In spring we’ll see these beautiful pink puddles under pohutukawa trees everywhere in New Zealand. Call it a blompol or cheery blossom… Something to contemplate with delight on a Silent Sunday.

I always thought we saw them mid summer, after Christmas… when the trees have finished their blooming.
We do: I foolishly posted last year’s photo.
They are certainly quintessential Kiwi whenever they fall… I love the pavements in the pink. X
Seeing more yellow footpaths up here in the Bay than red, though as Maggie mentions, it is still a lovely sight than a greyish concrete.
Yellow pohutukawa? Ours don’t start for a month or so: last year’s photo.
Kowhai. No sign of pohutukawa not for a while. I think we will be blooming before Wellington does.
What was I thinking! Same here.
Still kowhai season….no pohutokawa for a couple of months…..
Lovely. I hope someone picked up the bottle top!
Beautiful color , Rachel. Your beginning your Spring while we in the US are enjoying the onset of Fall but dreading the coming of Winter, at least I am. 🙀 Have a great day!
Yes, we’re in upside down versions of our beautiful world. This week here it’s sunny days and cold nights.
