LIQUIDAMBAR ‘Worplesdon’ 💖

LIQUIDAMBAR styraciflua 'Worplesdon' - Anzac Day

This week we have selected this tree to represent and in remembrance of ANZAC day. Here in New Zealand, the classic red poppies don’t flower at this time of year – instead we have a tree in the same symbolic colour at the right time. The LIQUIDAMBAR ‘Worplesdon’ is currently looking stunning in it’s autumn red cloak.

In remembrance

LIQUIDAMBAR styraciflua 'Worplesdon' - Wanaka

The classic red poppy grew wild on the Western front, where it flourished in soil churned up by fighting and shelling.  They don’t flower here at this time of year, so in honour of the brave this ANZAC Day, we’re highlighting the LIQUIDAMBAR ‘Worplesdon’.  It has a fittingly red colour at present, in a shade reminiscent of the symbolic colour of the fallen.

In the poignant words of Moina Michael, who said “And now the torch and poppy red, we wear in honour of the dead”, we say thank you to those brave souls who sacrificed so much for our peace and freedom.
