@amfrumbiddivurd@mittens@gijsje@hermann@gilbertwood@onewing@hrs@elisasaeter@joansmor@peterlgrave@happysnaps@lyndamcg Thanks everyone. They are beautiful, but many are disappearing as land is cleared for housing. Nuytsia floribunda was dubbed the native Christmas tree by colonists because it bursts out in orange blooms in December. The nuytsia have an additional Christmas association - the tree is also the world's largest variety of mistletoe. They are hemiparasitic plants, and grow by attaching themselves to host plants and draw water and nutrition from the host.
Beautiful. Im glad you've taken a photo of the Christmas tree Merrelyn, I only notice the other day on the way to Perth how many were flowering. This hideous urban sprawl drives me crazy!
