These shrubs may be Kiwi natives. Photographed in October. Please refer to image number in your reply. Thank you.
number 2 is Weigela number 1 has the look of rewarewa Knightia excelsa or NZ honeysuckle from the leaf shape. but I am not certain from the flower buds
having found this photo 2714, I suspect that the plant in post "Shrub in Pukeiti Garden, New Zealand" is probably the same as the one in this discussion....
