Corymbia ficafolia by Lynne Uptin Paul Hoelen There were no stars left

There were no stars left in that dark sky

encouraging a deeper connection and commitment to environmental stewardship

and otter-like body are highlighted to showcase its unparalleled design and adaptability

through effective collaborations between universities

and to sense the energy of the mountains as though within a dream

Corymbia ficafolia by Lynne Uptin Paul Hoelen There were no stars leftThis is the salmon pink form of Corymbia ficifolia, one of the most outstanding flowering trees in Australia with its masses of conspicuous flowers of red or vermillion orange (rarely pink) that cover the canopy in summer, followed by large woody egg shaped fruits known as honkey nuts. Red flowering gum was first formally described in 1860 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Eucalyptus ficifolia.
