Eucalyptus synandra - new and older flower
charming flowers of mallee (small eucalypt tree)...
Flowers are very conspicuous and are initially white or cream-coloured but age to deep pink with the stamens being united into a tube for the lower portion of the flowers.
It is cultivated in Kings Park, Perth.
Common Name: Jingymia mallee
Rare and threatened in the wild and uncommon in cultivation. Only several small populations known, on sandy and gravelly soils of inland, southern Western Australia.
But I believe it is going to be more popular in the gardens - according to ANPSA, it is probably the most precocious of all the eucalypts (agree!), sometimes flowering when only 15cm tall, reasonably cold-tolerant and seed germinates readily. anpsa.org.au/e-syn.html
