- That Sophora Microphyllais is the most common of the 8 species of NZ Kowhai?
- That it is the national flower of New Zealand?
- That the tree - especially the seeds - are poisonous?
- That according to Maori lore, the spring flowering marks the time for planting kumera (sweet potato)?
Observations of Life in New Zealand (and sometimes beyond) through art, architecture, photography, travel, tourism, design, food, the quirky, the bizarre, the comedic - a few of the things I am passionate about. This is my world - a world of contemplations, observations and small adventures.
