As a member of the myrtle family, the flowers of Pōhutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) are made up of a mass of brightly coloured stamen giving them an unmistakable appearance, which attracts a good range of NZ native birds. Bees, bats, and native lizards will also feed on the nectar during flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trees have a prominent place in Maori mythology, where the red flowers represent the blood of Tawhaki, a spirit ancestor who fell and died showing people the way from earth to heaven. Pōhutukawa occur naturally in the upper half of the North Island, but can be found growing throughout the whole country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e(all measurements are approximate)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the nature of the process and the use of recycled materials, colour and size may vary slightly from photo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stone Arrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42481971757099,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2584\/5368\/files\/PohutukawaFlowerEarrings-Red_1200x_ec1630a8-37cf-4ad2-8465-bce8f45fe9e3.webp?v=1762944855","url":"https:\/\/thecoolstoregallery.co.nz\/products\/pohutukawa-earrings","provider":"The Coolstore Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
