This is in the gardens in Nelson, was taken by the lovely colours of the flowers(?), which are dry and papery, quite a scrubby looking tree otherwise.
I think you have a species of Dombeya (Malvaceae - or sometimes Sterculiaceae).
Thank you, that looks like it. So those flowers have finished, they certainly are pretty, finished or not!
Sorry just saw your reply...just they have finished. Much more attractive when fresh I assure you... :-)
