Wax Eye in the Flame Tree..

Today I noticed that there was some flowers on my Flame Tree and the little wax eye's were busy flitting around excited about feeding on the nectar.. @ludwigsdiana had a shot of this tree the other day but she called it the Coral tree ... I think it is just a case of different country different name .., Now just have to wait for the Tui ( NZ native bird) to come and feed up on the Flame Tree nectar..

they are beautiful. We call them coral trees here in Australia too. The Illawarra Flame trees are different and the flowers are bell shape.

I don't recognise this flower at all so I don't think we have this tree in the UK unfortunately! Beautiful bright colourful flower & the little bird sitting nicely on the branch!

Precious little bird, posed so perfectly beside this gorgeous flower. (I like the way your frame your photos with a drop shadow.)

Nice shot

Nice shot. The plant is known as a Coral Tree in Australia. It is Erythrina indica.
