Northern Paperbark (Melaleuca borealis)

best viewed at original size

A Christmas thought; I had imagined that 'boreal' referred to those cold forests through which that man passes with his sleigh. That is surely not where the Northern Paperbark grows.
I investigated and found that 'boreal' simply means 'northern'. In Australia northern means tropical.
Northern Paperbark is a shrub of harsh sites on drier hills inland from north Queensland's rainforest zone.

I guess sled-man could be called a boreal arboreal! Lovely froth of paperbark flowers. Today, white tree blossoms, getting more so by the hour for a white christmas.
