Surprise Tea Tree
I was surprised to see these lovely flowers in full bloom in mid-winter at the top of the Blue Mountains range. I am not sure what they are, and time of year is no guide anymore, as the 2-year-long La Niña event has confused many plants into flowering out of season. Best guess is Prickly Tea-Tree (Leptospermum continentale) but I am open to corrections! [Mount Banks, Blue Mountains, NSW.]
