Blooming Threads Exhibition photos

The Darwin group was one of my favourites. I managed to get pieces of timber very similar to the real thing, and the flowers are so different to out southern eucalypts. From the left, Darwin Woolybutt (E miniata) Darwin Stringybark (E tetradonta) and Scarlet Gum (E phoenecia)

Close up of miniata

Northern WA included the Pilbara wattles, the huge E macrocarpa, and my other really long term project, Pincushion Hakea (Hakea laurina)

Mottlecah, Rose of the West, Macrocarpa ... whatever you call it it is a most striking Eucalypt

Coming down to southern WA were the showy Eucalypts - yellow woodwardii, small pink erythronema, creamy orbifolia and the super showy caesia or Princess

The seriously pretty orbifolia would have been just as at home with the Central Australian group .... it is a common street tree in Alice Springs
