The result of the voting at the Auckland Horticultural Society’s show to find out the most popular native flower for a national emblem for New Zealand was in favour of the kowhai flower. Details of the voting are as follow:— Kowhai 265, clematis 227, manuka 169, pohutakawa 112, rata 37, fern leaf 22. Several people wrote comments on their voting cards, one of which was, “As the fern leaf was good enough for our boys to fight under, please leave it.” Another voter wrote, “A ridiculous idea, as the public is no judge of a native flower.” Members of the Pukekohe Horticultural Society voted differently from the visitors to the Auckland show-. Last week they were invited to record their votes for a national flower, and the voting resulted: Clematis 26, kowhai 10, pohutukawa 9, rata 7, manuka 3.
