Corymbia ficafolia by Lynne Uptin Paul Hoelen photographyThis 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.
