Macro Flowers: Wild flowers in New Zealand bush

I saw these beautiful flowers, all in the same bush in a New Zealand bush/jungle/forest. All three were formed differently from the others, but they were very beautiful. I have not tried to look for their names.

Hi Ann,

These flowers are from the tree fuschia (scientific name: fuschia excorticata ) (Maori name: Kotukutuku)

It is the world’s tallest fuschia (up to 12 m) and is found throughout new Zealand.

The berries can be eaten, either raw or made into a jam. The wood is very difficult to burn.



Cheers

Warren
