Welcome everyone! I've create this blog BeLeafinTrees to share my passion of flowers and plants. All plants displayed here have been photographied in New Zealand parks, gardens and fields. Some are not native don't be surprised if you find some of them in your area !

About 10-15% of the total land area of New Zealand is covered with native flora, from tall kauri and kohekohe forests to rainforest dominated by rimu, beech, tawa, matai and rata; ferns and flax; dunelands with their spinifex and pingao; alpine and subalpine herb fields; and scrub and tussock.
