Eucalyptus Buds
Australian Native
These beautiful Eucalyptus/Gum pods are the casing for the flowers. They split in half across the middle. The pods pry apart as the flower grows. The bottom cap pops off first leaving a cap on the to part of the flower holding it together. They are in all three stages at the moment in Autumn in Melbourne, Australia. First the flowers are in this form of pod casing. When the flower a jars open it kind of looks like a hand wound ball of wool or twine. Then open to reveal a star bursting flower in a pink shade.
