Even Australians who wouldn't know a Banksia from a Begonia know what a gum tree looks and smells like. I think this is a type of Gum tree (eucalypts), maybe HAHA!
OH WOW! This is WAY COOL...it does look Eucalypt-esque, but those fuzzy buds! The dried seed capsules! This is such an interesting plant - WOW WOW WOW!!!
:o). Love the photos especially the last one.
When I was in Spain,(Coto donana), they have used gum trees to "save the environment."
Most of the native trees had been cut down to make the boats for the Spanish Armarda.
When I arrived all I could smell was gum trees even before I could see them!
Hhehehee, someone might show up and tell me it's a Myrtle, Lavender. It was too far to reach to smell the leaves but if see one again - will do! It's very interesting looking :)
Simon, the last one is my favourite also :) From a long time ago, have a vague recollection of smelling gums in Portugal! Apparently, there's a eucalypt BOOM overseas Simon!
I love that last photo. Wow, beautiful!
If someone does know what exactly it is, it wont matter to me if gum or myrtle - Im really intriguied - oh however you spell that!!!! - Im really interested in it...(((IS IT HOT ENUF?) :)
At the end of this Wildflower Series I might do a favourite photo post and the last one will be in it Red Mojo!
Well Lavender, I just went bush and back during a heat wave (HAHA)to find the answer with a couple of leaves in my pocket that smell like LEMON! It isn't a Corymbia citriodora which is a lemon scented gum and still don't know apart from it NOT smelling slightly camphor and menthol! My plant identifier is back from New Zealand in a week and a half so will let you know then. The bark looked Banksia-like ;) Trust him going away when I begin my Wildflower Series! Heehee
yes there is Anon. (smile)
BTW I did an auction on the northern Beaches. There was a lorekeet in the smallest cage I have ever seen. I thought of jack and how lucky he is.. :o(
Fankly I was v. upset.
Yes, I was INSANE going bushwalking this weekend HAHA! However, there were rock pools for refreshing in :) Maybe you should tell some authorities about that poor Lorikeet Simon! Jack is SPOILT but there is no excuse for a tiny cage...
I think the last image show the flowers for the Goths. Very interesting and why they turn black and stay on the stems instead of falling is another example of the versatility of the plant kingdom. Can you cultivate these plants and trees in your wildflower series and plant them in a residence, or is that a crazy idea?
Love the 4th last and the final one...the grey looks striking against the blue..top job annony...x
Yep, the last one is the favorite one - graphic and dimentional at the same time. Striking cord with my pod fetish... Love it!
Well we cant fault you for trying - Im having a hard time surviving todays heat without going bush! More power to ya!
Well thats some cheek your plant expert has Tehehehehehe
Sounds very much the enigma to me Anon, so many clues youve got but all conflicting each other - What a great find!
Thanks Anon!
Hhehhee, pod bouquets for the Goths Ces? It's illegal to remove anything from the bush Ces, but it depends on where you live whether something will grow. There are different environments from one step to another sometimes :)
Oh yes, two photos too close to 'artistic' Abbey :)
Hello Albina! Will have a whole 'pod' post coming up soon!!
I'm finding them everywhere now Lavender, so my plant identifier will probably laugh about me not knowing what it is! HAHA
Did you know that the gums are now regarded as a pest in Spain and they are removing them.
Ooooooh, yeah, pods!!!!
Not surprised Simon, introduced species usually do become a pest!
Ummmm errrrr, they will be a while Albina .... but there will be two posts to make up for waiting :)
Everywhere now....tehhehehehe Well, we are still stumped over here! :) If they laugh at you remember you werent the only one who didnt know it, cool? :)
It's a deal Lavender, you can look like a dummy with me! Hhehhhee
OOooh, very pretty and interesting! I LOVE that first shot! All very nice! :-D
Great selection of shots - from the flower to the seed (sigh). Very enjoyable :-)
Thanks Mary Stebbins Taitt - the red and green combination looks so alive! ACtually that's a red I have in lipstick HAHHHAAAA
Awwww thanks Mountaingirl - I was trying to get as much information as possible to identify ;)
This is an Angophora hispida! Dwarf Apple from the Myrtaceae Family and indeed a Eucalypt!
YAY!!
Very rarely found at a Nursery, but can be bought from State Forest Nursery at Castle Hill, NSW Australia.
OOOOOOO! Thanks Anon! Noted at -the top of the wish list!!! Many Thanks! :)
is it quite as fuzzy as it looks? lol
ryn: Well, now, what would make you think that? heh. If it pleases Hellcat, click.
Heehee!! My plant identifier hasn't actually been contacted yet Lavender, but it was a bonus to receive the added nursery information!
Shadowlor, ACTUALLY ... the red fuzziness is part of the nut, when in bloom the blossums are white held by red half nuts!
WHAAAAAA Hellcat is 'somewhere' else right now Ryn! };-}
Wow - well then, super extra well done to you!!! I added the State Forest Nursery info to that wish list....be a very good excuse for someone to take me on a nice ride one day tehehehe
I have a feeling you might be able to fulfill some other wishes from that State Forest Nursery Lavender! Hhheeehee!! Save your pennies first ... :)
HERE’S a link for lots of rides!!
COOL! Thanks for that link Anon, what a groovy grove of info and goodies!
I noticed at their Cumberland Nursery, this plant is listed under 'Other Natives' and NOT Eucalypts!
