This is near the Nikau Palm in Arataki Visitor Centre in the Waitakere Ranges in Auckland there is a Ponga fern as well. New Zealand bush has a very wide range of greens and this is one type.
Greenery is restful but plants and forrests badly need watering. There has been almost a 3 month drought in Auckland, New Zealand and it seems to be a regular feature here.
In the centre of the photo you will notice the stem of the Nikau Palm and some beads coming out of a darker shade.
Now we are getting some rain and showers on and off, which is something

Beautiful picture. We also experience drought in our country.
Interesting palm. Droughts can be very tough on plants and trees. Hope you get rain soon.
This is more than one plant, our native bush in New Zealand is very unique. Thanks Tasartcraft.
I wish I could send you our rain. We have too much. Love the photo of the palm.
Thanks we have had some rain but could do with some more. Wish we could mail rain clouds over the world to send them where rain is most needed. Thanks Carol.
It’s almost raining here. But with the start of 2020, something went wrong. It has been raining without stopping since Saturday. Very interesting kind of palm tree.
I hope you get the much needed rain soon!
