These unusual seed pods, or gum nuts, belong to the Corymbia henryi (Large-leaved Spotted Gum), one of Australia‘s many species of Eucalyptus trees. They were photographed along the Ocean Drive Fire Trail in the Queen’s Lake Nature Reserve, North Haven, NSW, Australia, about a thirty minute drive south of Port Macquarie. I was out hunting Sun Orchids and while I did find quite a few plants, only one was in flower so I kept my eyes peeled for anything else – anything “different” – to add to my wildflower collection. Well I suppose you can’t get much more different that this! It looks as though the pods are sealed with wax. Visit my Aussie Wildflower collection in my BubbleSite for more native nuts.

This calendar features Currawinya National Park, in the far west of Queensland. It has beautiful Outback Scenery and is famous for its to lake very close together, one with salt water (Wyara) and the other with fresh water (Numalla). Our very favourite spot in the park is Corni Paroo, a waterhole in the Paroo River, which may well be our favourite spot in Australia.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Swamp Bloodwood Sets of Two / Red_Bloodwood_Eucalypt / Corymbia ptychocarpa was formerly known as Eucalyptus ptychocarpa prior to a fairly recent reclassification of those eucalypts loosely called bloodwoods. It is a very showy tree from the tropical regions, which is also very bird attractant. The large flowers come in various colours from white, through pink to crimson, although pink is the most common colour. They normally occur as umbels of up to 7 flowers in late Summer to Autumn. The flowers are followed by large woody seed capsules, around 4 cm (1¾ inches) long, and up to 3 cm (1¼ inches) wide. These capsules are popular in dried flower arrangements. It’s natural distribution is the topical Kimberley region of Western Australia and the northern area of the Northern Territory, which experience Summer wet seasons with a yearly average rainfall around 1000-1600 cms (3- 5½ feet). Temperature range is around 10ºC-40ºC. It is found in open forest on stream banks and moist areas. It will grow to a height in excess of 15 metres (50 feet) in favourable conditions. Canon DSLR 350D

Flowering Gum at 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.
