Pohutukawa | Having heard of a true "white" pohutukawa (jacqui-nz and Graeme Platt prior notes), and being the right time of year, I had to go and check this out. Just buds today (11Nov2018), probably 1-2Dec likely for flowering. Took various pics, including some of the aerial roots (of this specimen and what appears to be a normal pohutukawa) for comparison (fairly obvious which is the white vs normal red - tho' not as marked a difference as I'd hoped for id purposes) This year, not a big flowering in terms of numbers, but enough to see a "real" white "pohutuka-MA"! jacqui-nz observations from 2017 are at this link: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/9231608 Details on Algernon Thomas here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algernon_Phillips_Withiel_Thomas Some other notes in this PDF link, including a couple of pictures: http://www.rnzih.org.nz/RNZIH_Journal/Pages_10-23_from_2010_Vol13_No2.pdf | Dayne Laird | iNaturalist NZ — Mātaki Taiao / iNaturalist NZ — Mātaki Taiao |
