Always stunning...

Red flowering gums aren't very common in Queensland so we're always pretty excited when we see something like this. :)

brilliant look for these flowers - remind me of the book where there was a tiny fairy wearing these skirts.

@koalagardens Hi Katrina - Can you remember a fairy in a story - a fairy who had a skirt made from a gum flower. I could only think of snugglepot and cuddlepie, but I don't remember them wearing skirts. :)

[Rob Z]

@pusspup Sad but true - we've tried also!

[Wylie]

@robz their skirts were the gum blossoms weren't they?

[Rick]

Neat looking flowers/buds. Great shot.

@maggiemae @koalagardens @pusspup LOL - Had to Google it because it was really annoying!. Cuddlepot and Snugglepie (who had skirts made of gum leaves) met Little Ragged Blossom at a dance. This kind little Gum Blossom was an orphan who wore a skirt made from a gum blossom. They became best friends and had further adventures. The covers of the books are just so cute! Cheers Rob
