Yellow Carpet of Kowhai Flowers

Our garden kowhai is usually a late flowerer.

This year it has flowered to excess.

As have most of the flowering trees and shrubs around town - the rhododendrons have been magnificent.

Of course, as spring progresses, the florets fall - leaving a bright yellow carpet.

Filling up the very large leaves of the Chatham Island Forget-me-nots, like some overflowing wine goblet!
