Spring time is in full swing and we can’t get enough of all those blossoms!
These stunners are from the vibrant Malus Flamingo, a wonderful flowering crabapple.
Crimson red buds burst open into cerise-pink blooms that slowly fade into delicate pale pink flowers. Double flowers mean that every stem is jam packed with colour.
Malus Flamingo grows tall and upright making it a great focal point in the garden or use as sentinels on either side of an entrance way.
Bred by John McLaren from Central Otago, New Zealand.

Dahlias looking a bit jaded? Watch and learn how to dead these amazing summer flowering plants to reinvigorate them and keep them blooming and strong for the rest of the season! #dahlia #drkeithhammett #dahliamystic #summer #pruning #kiwifloranz

Look at all this lushness! Add a tropical flavour to your garden with these two stunning cordylines; fresh green Emerald Star (known as broadsword in New Zealand) and glossy red Superstar. Both make fantastic container specimens or garden focal points and are fabulous to give colour contrast and that tropical effect to patio and deck areas. Oh, and birds and bees flock to the masses of sweetly scented flowers in spring, so something for everybody! . . . #cordyline #cordylineemeraldstar #cordylinesuperstar #kiwifloranz #kiwiflorainternational #polinatorgarden #ihavethisthingwithplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #foliage #tropicalgarden

It's that time of summer again and we are back at @drkeithhammett's dahlia trial garden. This season the weather has not played ball, giving us weeks of drought, then heavy rain followed up with an ex-tropical cyclone, but we think the dahlias are looking pretty good considering. More of this season's trials coming soon.... . . . #kiwifloranz #kiwiflorainternational #dahlias #dahliaseason #dahliasofinstagram #drkeithhammett #ihavethisthingwithplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #gardensofinstagram #plantsofinstagram #flowersofinstagram #bloom #plantsofinstagram

In the NZ rain forest Northern Rata starts as a climber seeded in one the forest giants. Decades later it has set down roots and strangled its host to become a tree in its own right. #nznative #lovetrees #rainforest #kiwiflora

Amazing landscape contrast - thick mountain beech to scree and tussock over the river. And yes, it was raining! ☔️ #ruapehu #beech #newzealand #lovetrees #kiwiflora

Stopped in my tracks yesterday at this glorious sight - Davidia involucrata aka Dove Tree. Look at those little doves fly! 🕊 #lovetrees #lovegardening #white flowers #spring #trees #doves #kiwiflora

Birdsong and gentle breezes make Restio festuciformis come alive. The Afrikaans name ‘groengrasriet’ loosely translated means Green Grass Reed. #movement #texture #southafricanplants #westerncape #lovegardening #reeds
