flowering gums

The most spectacular of the flowering gum trees, the West Australian Flowering Gum (Corymbia ficifolia previously Eucalyptus ficifolia) are doing their colourful best - here are some of the trees round and about.

I collected seeds from the dark pink flowering tree above and managed to get some seedlings to grow. One survived long enough to produce flowers, only to find it had very unexiciting off white flowers - I don't have it any more.
