About this word search
Many New Zealanders think of the kōwhai as the national flower, its yellow flowers bringing tūī to the garden in spring. The pōhutukawa turns the coast red around Christmas, the rātā flowers in the forest, and harakeke, New Zealand flax, has flowers full of nectar as well as leaves used for weaving. In gardens you will also find camellias, hydrangeas, lavender and freesias.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and the words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Pōhutukawa is the longest at ten letters and appears as POHUTUKAWA without the macron. Sunflower and hydrangea have nine. Rātā, rose and vase are only four letters, so look for them last. The Q of bouquet and the Y of daisy and hydrangea are good letters to start with.
After the puzzle, take the sheet into a garden or a park and try to find as many of these flowers as possible. Which are native and which come from overseas?
