Araucaria heterophylla - Norfolk pine


The Plant
The Norfolk pine, or Araucaria heterophylla, came from Norfolk island, a small island in the Pacific ocean. It has a distinctive shape and makes a great silhouette.

The picture and personal take
I'm not sure if I'm featuring the Norfolk pine here, or Cook's pine (Araucaria Columnaris or New Caledonian Pine), but after comparing the silhouette/ description, i think i'm closer to Norfolk pine.

The pictures were taken somewhere near city hall. I like how the colour of the tree contrasts with the church.
