Flowering gum (I am not bouquet...at least until cut!)

This morning I was delighted to notice that the flowering gum I have nurtured in our backyard was in bloom. Flowers and buds popping at the crown of the tree against a patch of blue sky makes it feel momentarily like summer. Where is the sun, that shone on my head...

The spicks and the specks
