Any day now #flowerbuds #eucalyptus

Looking forward to seeing this natural beauty in bloom @diannezchilds

We have a fairly ordinary gum tree but at this very moment it is a mass of flower and the bats at night are still making whoopee with the flowers....a week later! Wondering if this amazing flowering season due to hot dry summer?

Maybe???

Corymbia ficifolia x Eucalyptus ptychocarpa Summer Beauty

I have this one arent they beautiful 😊

Thank you @nej

It deserves it's name summer beauty @errolly. You're welcome @diannezchilds

A true Aussie beauty!

Beautiful flowers @diannezchilds

@brightcolours sorry it's taken so long. This isn't a great pic but it's very overgrown there. Blue line is original tree. left hand shoot/branch is coming out of it but the larger right hand one originally grew from below it. There is still a large bulbous base underneath these trunks which makes me think it was a graft. Have no real idea though. 😊

I'm not at all familiar with grafted eucalypts. But I'd say that's what has happened here, given what you said in the previous post on this gum. @nej ?

#graft #gum #eucalypt

@diannezchilds both those shoots, left and right large one look like they are coming from below the graft.

Thanks @brightcolours @nej I'm just happy that it's growing and flowering 😊

Help me identify this plant. #plantid My #gum tree has a #flower #blossom!!! Not what I was expecting though. Think this might be from the original root stock. But still very happy. 😊🌸🌸🌸

Looks like a normal gum blossom to me.

Lovely still! But did you buy one of the Princess grafts? @nej @deekay

Maybe corymbia ptychocarpa

@brightcolours @nej @deekay Bought it about 15 years ago - it used to have beautiful pink flowers. Nearly died each summer in the barrel container. Replanted into ground last summer. First flower in about 5 years. 🌸🌸

Lovely flowers congrats. I am afraid I am not good with Eucalypt ID's @diannezchilds

Most odd... So the graft has died off?

@brightcolours That's my guess, but I actually have no idea. This was a new offshoot but it's been around for several years.

Can you see where the graft is/was?
