Inland White Mahogany (Eucalyptus mediocris)

This is the most abundant tree in the forests around my home town.
When I took this photo (Dec. 2013), Inland White Mahogany was flowering en masse, with seemingly every tree for kilometres around in bloom – an event that may happen only once in a decade.
"mediocris" means "middle-sized" (not "mediocre"!).

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very beautiful flowering tree, especially with those beautiful red bats gathering the nectar

Must look like snow when the blossoms are as thick as this on every tree Don!

That would be a splendid sight to see. I think if it occurs only once a decade, it would also be an event to be celebrated. It would be magnificent, as is your image. V
