A shrub-sized Metrosideros planted in a cube-shaped planter box in full red flower.
I don't think it's a Metrosideros excelsa (Pōhutukawa) which flowers closer to Christmas but some other earlier flowering Metrosideros species. #somethingBeautiful #flower #metrosideros

A steep street in a suburb of Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. The sky is a very vivid blue colour, and is cloudless. The subject is a tree with more than one crown. The tree has a vivid mid to dark green foliage, with crimson foliage. It is a Pōhutukawa, or NZ Ironwood tree - or NZ's Christmas tree.

A large pot with a pohutukawa in bloom, with its distinctive red flowers.
Does it count if it is in a pot? #pohutukawa #flower #NewZealandChristmasTree #somethingBeautiful #metrosideros
Looking up at branches of a pohutukawa tree against blue sky. Several pohutukawa flowers with their distinctive red colour, are visible.
