これはポフツカワというニュージーランドの花[はな]です。先月[せんげつ]から、いろいろなところで咲[]いています。花[はな]の形[かたち]がなんとなくボトルブラシと似[]ていますね。花[はな]の色[いろ]や花[はな]が咲[]く時期[じき] (jiki means time)から、「NZのクリスマス・ツリー」とも呼[]ばれています(~tomo yobareteiru means it is also called ~)

 

This is Pohutukawa. We enjoy this beautiful flower in December and January. This looks a bit similar to Bottle brush, don’t you think? Because of its flowering season as well as the colour, it is also called NZ Christmas Tree.
