Today is officially the first day of summer. One of the signs of a good (i.e. warm and dry) summer is the flowering of
Ti Kouka (
Cabbage trees).
This one is on the bank behind the next door section and we don't normally see this view. I love the way it is balanced with limbs on both sides. We had a good flowering a couple of years ago and this year looks well on the way to be another cracker. I have just learnt that the hanging bunches of flowers are called
panicles, which is a particular type of
inflorescence.
Here endeth the botany lesson.
