Albany Flowering Gum

Jenne planted this Corymbia ficifolia here when she moved in around 8 years ago. Its beautiful flowers come up so well with the macro lens. Cheers, Pete

G'day Alan, thanks for your comment. We are either going to go and look for some plants for the garden of the new house, or try to propogate from seed off this one. I understand that buying seedlings could result in a variety of different colours from cream to bright reds and you don't know what you have for a number of years while waiting for the first flowering.
There's some help in an article in Wikipedia, under the heading ficifolia.
Cheers, Pete
