#redfloweringgum are so vibrant when they’re in their prime. The past few weeks has seen many of these come alive, with special blooms of red (mainly) throughout the suburbs of #Melbs.
They bloom right up to May.
It has a restricted distribution in the wild (it’s native home is only the south-west of Western Australia) but it is one of the most commonly planted ornamental #eucalypts.
And bees go wild for these; they must have an abundance of nectar to extract.
Just beautiful.

A large in stature red flowering gum stands proud in an #Oakleigh #Australia reserve, for all the passing motorists to marvel at. I was most definitely one of them.
The reds of this bursting #eucalypt #redfloweringgum is dynamic and impactful. Even the #bees think so too!
There are two bees sharing a pod in the 4th pic!

Corymbia ficifolia, also commonly known as the #redfloweringgum, is a tree that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It has rough bark on the trunk and on its branches, robust, bright green thick leaves, flower buds in groups of seven; bright red, pink or orange flowers and its fruit is like the shape of cups. That’s the best description I can give.
This one in #BentleighEast #Australia has the most lovely deep-pink flowers. Although the colour is subtle viewing the tree from afar, up close the colour is really quite striking.
Love the fine hair appearance of these flowers too! The bees seem quite partial to them as well. 🐝🐝🐝
I read just now with interest that these are one of the most commonly planted ornamental eucalypts in Australia.
