We were thrilled to discover the native Clematis, Puawananga, in flower in the neighbouring reserve.
Such a pretty flower, the photo doesn't do it justice.
This time of the year, the MOL is always on the lookout for it - he's seen it once; across the valley at the top of some tall trees!
There were two younger plants, at eye level, growing on small trees (this one was on a Puriri, you can see some leaves of it mid-far right).
Now that we've found these and they're easily accessible we'll have to keep an eye on them and try to get some seeds from them later on.
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn
