METROSIDEROS EXCELSA, POHUTUKAWA
I hope I have identified this plant correctly.
We went to Loutraki one sunny Sunday in March and saw these two small trees on the seaward side of the new Town Hall.
I was thrilled to find something different to snap and took I don’t know how many photos
As usual I forgot to notice important things about the tree such as what do the leaves look like and what colour the bark is. I was too excited about the flowers
