Merry Christmas

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas day! This is the Pohutukawa flower which is also called the New Zealand Christmas tree. The Pohutukawa is predominately seen in the North Island of New Zealand (this photo was actually taken in Tawa in Wellington) though apparently the tree can also be spotted in the South Island.
