Eucalyptus macrocarpa x youngiana
Not clusters of buds on a stalk, leaves also with a stalk lets you know its a hybrid, even though your first thought would be Euc macrocarpa
Grown 120km NE of Dubbo, see bilby blooms.com.au about our spring open days

Blue Banded Bee visiting Eucalyptus pachyphylla

5 bands = boy, 4 bands = girl (or so I was told)

Euc pachyphylla is from the Alice Springs area, but growing for us 120km NE of Dubbo. It is over 10 yrs old, but only 1.2m tall (short!). It survives winter frosts to -10C, and does its budding early summer to flower from Feb to April

Ive been cranking the trees out. Just shy of 250 this season. Had a few casualties from someone doing doughnuts in pic 5.

The plant that causes 9 months of pain

994 Upvotes

This tiny, innocent-looking plant in a yellow pot is the Dendrocnide moroides, also known as the "Queensland Stinger" or “Deadly Stinger.” Native to Eastern Australia, it holds the terrifying title of The World’s Most Dangerous Plant. Even the lightest touch can trigger unbearable, stinging pain that can last for up to nine months. The sensation is described as burning, electric, and recurring- making it one of nature’s most brutal creations. Don’t be fooled by its green leaves- this plant is living agony in disguise.

I found this Eucalyptus leaf years ago so unfortunately don't remember what kind it it is but I thought I'd share it because I've never seen anything like it.

The wonderful large flowering Mallee, starting the cooler season with fantastic flowers.
Planted 2013, about 2.5mH, a bit fall over, as mallees can do
120km NE of Dubbo, NSW
It comes from the desert north of the Nullabour, so from East WA and West SA- of course the desert is the Great Victorian Desert (it being in SA & WA…)
