Eucalyptus caesia



I couldn't help myself when I saw this beautiful 'silver princess' in bloom in Brunswick today. Luckily the tree was growing on the nature strip, so i could easily grab some. I would love to grow one of these trees, i first would need a garden, apparently they are quite difficult to grow, it would be well worth it for these pink flowers and elegant long leaves.. they are native to south Western Australia, and are now commonly grown domestically as a ornamental trees. We are lucky in Australia..
