Kākābeak Flower Necklace | pendant necklace | nz jewellery
Kawakawa is a new arrival in my garden. The seeds carried in by the birds from the neighbouring wild garden, which is the ngahere of the Kahurangi National Park. It has found a home in my garden on this sun leached hillside, nestling in the shadier corners, protected from the westerly gales and the glare of the sun's piercing ray's.
The strong shape and the resulting delicate pattern of the cell structure attracts me to this leaf. As the caterpillar feeds on the leaf the Kawakawa has evolved to isolate the damage and redirect its energy around the eaten cell to the other cells where the photosynthesis continues, powering the plant to grow and achieve its position in the garden. Resilience in action.
