Tiny flowers.....

....black, purple or red with golden stamens dance in the light, like tiny stars.

Known as Black Maipou or Pittosporum colensoi, named after William Colenso (7 November 1811 - 10 February 1899) who was a Cornish Christian missionary to New Zealand, and also a printer, botanist, explorer and politician.

Black Maipou is found on lowland to lower montane forests from Bay of Plenty southwards, it is endemic to New Zealand.

Just thought I'd add another species from New Zealand after last week's Black Beech flowers for Flower Friday. Warm thanks to Anni for continuing to host :)

Friday - a true spring day, cool morning with heavy dew, blue sky and a light breeze and so very warm, felt sooo good :)

Happy weekend everyone :)
