#Kanuka are still going strong although they’re heading out of their flowering cycle atm. These remind me of the uplifting nature of #wattle trees, when they’re in bloom.

They’re very “Aussie” in their green and gold colours and they make me proud (and fortunate) that I reside in such an awesome locale.

Hope you have a terrific day and if you’re going through trials and tribulations, pain or uncertainty, know there are people that are thinking of your in your time of need.

🙏💚💛

“Here we present the results of a genotyping by sequencing study with 1,361 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), sampling 48 populations representing four Kunzea species from South Island and southern North Island. The SNP study confirms the microsatellite findings: the two widespread species, K. robusta and K. serotina, are indistinguishable and share northern and southern genotypes with other species.”
