Flora and Fauna

New Zealand is absolutely beautiful!  The trees and forests of NZ are unique as they evolved in isolation for millions of years.  They claim that 80% of the fauna is found only in NZ.  There are massive Kauri trees, black fern trees and silver fern trees, low-lying ferns, flaxes, hydranges, and the pohutukawa (trees with tiny crimson petals which bloom along the coast in the summer)------just to name a few.
