I’m late to see your post but I don’t see any answers to your question. I’m from New Zealand so I can proudly (and with much love – I adore this flower) inform you that these are the magnificent kowhai flowers of New Zealand (the genus is Sophora). I’m delighted to see your photos of it blooming superbly at Berkeley Castle! Would you like to see a few of my own photos? I invite you to my previous post: https://exploringcolour.wordpress.com/2017/09/25/golden-kowhai-flowers-new-zealand/
Thank you so much for this. I couldn’t find the gardener at Berkley to ask him about it. Off to your site forthwith to take a peek.
My pleasure Candia! Kowhai flowers are very beautiful and our native nectar-loving birds are also very attracted to kowhai flowers!
