Re: (Metrosideros) Bloom seasons in northern and southern hemispheres

I'm convinced the two Metrosideros i've bought are
either Kermadecensis or a hybrid of M. excelsa and M.
kermadecensis. Literature on the web seems to say that
pure M. excelsa has more oblong leaves, while M.
kermadecensis has rounder shorter ones. Mine, and all
of the Metrosideros i've seen here have the rounded
leaves, and year round spotty bloom (although they do
seem to look better the older they get. 

One of mine is going into bloom. The upper branches
all have buds on them, some of them opened up. So i'm
hoping for a decent show. They're also a very nice
deep dark red that is gorgeous.
