I'll take my cap off to that

I love how that little bud cap lifts off for the flower to open - you can spot a couple of them mid-lift ...

and wonderful how all the different Gum Trees have different caps. At the moment everywhere we walk there is a carpet of minute little yellow caps. Very painful if you step on them with bare feet!
