ReplyDeleteThankyou!
DeleteGum nuts are a great subject - I really like them when the flowers are just pushing off the nuts little "hat"
ReplyDeleteNice pictures.

Yes they are beautiful - these ones were from a small branch that had fallen from the tree, you are right, they do look even more appealing with their little "hats". I must keep a look-out for some like that. The majority of our gum trees have finished flowering so I will keep an eye on this particular tree. Thanks for your nice comments.
DeleteWonderful photos! Haven´t seen these gumnuts before!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary for your comments. These are quite small gumnuts, the flowers will be a creamy-yellow when they emerge.

Thanks Mascha for your comment. These gumnuts will become beautiful flowers on the gum tree- these however had fallen off.
