About this word search
Some of New Zealand's native flowers are rare and spectacular. Kākābeak has red flowers shaped like the beak of a kākā and is now rare in the wild. The Mount Cook lily is in fact the largest buttercup in the world, and native clematis covers the tops of trees with white flowers in spring. In gardens, agapanthus and rhododendrons are common, though agapanthus has spread so much that it counts as a weed in some regions.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words go in all eight directions, backwards included. Mount Cook lily is the longest at thirteen letters, written MOUNTCOOKLILY. Rhododendron and garden centre have twelve. Rātā, hebe and rose are four letters each and hide easily. Pōhutukawa, kōwhai and mānuka lose their macrons in the grid.
This sheet suits a quiet afternoon or a garden club. Afterwards, pick three native flowers from the list and find out when they bloom, so you know when to look out for them.
