Another grey day, but Coprosma repens - taupata or "mirror plant" has a fresh and sparkly look because of the very glossy leaves which also make it such a successful coastal plant, and this cultivar has the added zing of multicoloured leaves in green, gold, yellow, orange and red. The flowers, on the other hand, are shy and tiny - clustered together on the stem behind the leaves. These are male flowers (you can tell by the dangling stamens). Although Coprosma repens is apparently dioecious - separate male and female plants - I am sure that I have seen male flowers on a plant which also produces the lovely orange drupes (berries) which the birds love to eat. Must check again...
