drhoz.tumblr.com/post/8035621... #3462 - Eucalyptus drummondii - Drummond’s Gum One of over 100 species named after James Drummond (1786? –1863), a naturalist and early European settler of Western Australia.

Among Australia's parrots, the lorikeets are especially good at extracting nectar from eucalypts. The tongues of these species feature a specially adapted brush tip and are strong enough to push deep into gum blossoms before they are open, beating other pollinators to the nectar reward! #LoveAGum

#FlowersOnFriday: Pollination strategies! Insect-attracting gums: - white/cream flowers = more visible to insects. - small, shallow flowers = accessible nectar - tend to have denser populations, where pollinators with small home ranges can carry pollen from tree to tree #EucalyptsAreHome #LoveAGum

We did patrols around Harcourt the day after the fire came through & hosed down old trees along the roadsides that were still burning. Terrible to see the loss. And that was before they did 'clean up' for safety. The cumulative loss of old trees is hard to bear.

A magnificent River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), photographed in Harcourt by Alan Deumer. Sadly, it burned to the ground in recent fires. For centuries it sheltered wildlife and watched over the community. Farewell, stately giant. 📸 Alan Deumer #thicktrunktuesday

A week on from the heatwave and catastrophic fires here in Central Victoria. We're taking a moment to enjoy the cool breeze amongst the scented blossoms of a Yellow Box (Eucalyptus melliodora). It's such an intensely different day from this time last week. #FlowersOnFriday

We’re thinking of the communities, wildlife, and places affected by the recent bushfires. We recognise and share in the deep grief many feel for the loss of homes, businesses, stock and pets, and the beloved trees and bushland people love. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted. ❤️
