Original Acrylic:
"Mamaku Close-Up" - NZ Treefern.
|
The Black Mamaku - Cyathea medullaris - is the largest of the New Zealand tree ferns and can grow up to 45 feet in height.
This is a study of a young Mamaku with the light striking its growing head.
These are impressive ferns, either standing singly or in groves, and they are a notable feature of the New Zealand landscape. They are common throughout many parts of New Zealand, but rare on the eastern side of the Southern Alps in the South Island.
