When the storms have been passing over for a few weeks and most unsealed roads are closed, it is a perfect time to jump in the car and go for a drive. Not only are there frill neck lizard, goannas and freshwater crabs all over the roadsides, but , many of the trees are blooming magnificently. This is a twin-leaved bloodwood in flower on the way out to the Leonard river. i love how the unopened flowers have little red and white santa hats on – very seasonal of them i should think!

Flowering Gum at McClelland Gallery Langwarrin, Victoria, Australia. / Corymbia ficifolia or the Red Flowering Gum, previously known as Eucalyptus ficifolia, is one of the most commonly planted ornamental trees in the broader eucalyptus family. It is native to a very small area of south coastal Western Australia (measured in just tens of kilometres) to the east of Walpole (430 km Southeast of Perth), but is not considered under threat in the wild. The common name, “Red Flowering Gum” is often used, but generally not to indicate Corymbia ficifolia in particular as opposed to it and other similar looking trees. The name is also something of a misnomer; all gums flower, many are red, Corymbia ficifolia is not really a “gum” but a bloodwood, and its flowers can be any shade between pale cream, through pink, to red, orange or deep crimson. / Nikon D300 Lens Nikkor 18-200 ED VR / 95mm, 1/160s, F/5.6, ISO: 800
