2023 - Auckland NZ - 76 - Pohutukawa Flower Sculpture

            Auckland's Nelson Street off-ramp and Hobson Street on-ramp at the Central Motorway Junction (aka Spaghetti Junction)  is the site of a Pohutukawa Flower sculpture.

The installation is in the green space of the intersection. The location was called Pohutukawa Corner before 'Spaghetti Junction' motorway complex was built.

The 2006 sculpture has red poles tipped with yellow lights, the "stamens" of a huge pohutukawa flower.

The 105 stamens are approximately 5m in length and are set in seven green-tiled domes on top of a block base. The stamens are lit at night by lights at the bases and ends.

Architect Rod Slater of engineering consultants Beca Carter Hollings & Ferner was the chief designer, and the installation work was directed by sculptor Quintin Strachan.
