End-of-Spring downunder - Corymbia torelliana (Cadaghi Gum) in bloom.

Oh, Bernieh, always fascinated me with your plants, so beautiful and so exotic for me ...

Thanks Amano - so glad you enjoy seeing photos of our Aussie plants.

I really like the native plants of Australia, I'm trying to collect those that can live in my garden ...

Looks like a white chestnut.

I agree!

It does rather!!....very pretty....

Thanks Oldgunner, Pansypotter and Amblealice ... have never seen a white chestnut but I'll doing some Googling to check it out.

Bernieh:

Very pretty!

It's so strange that Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Maleleuca
species bloom there in spring and they bloom here in
late fall or winter.

I wonder if they're on the same cycle as the Southern
Hemisphere trees...being native Australia?

Might well be Andy!

Bernieh:

I think it is true. I know some plants from the
Southern Hemisphere which bloom here at the
same time as they do in their native habitat...
it doesn't matter the if it's winter or summer here.
