Comment from Lolly Cardinal
Fabulous, clear and bright colors this flower is wearing. Magnificent background which enhances its white and pink colors. Stems and leaves of this eucalyptus are of great colors. Centered, shadowed and detailed properly. Magnificent eucalyptus photography and eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and Good Luck!
Have a magnificent day!

Mary,
They are both beautiful & exotic looking like coloured pin cushions or the bobbles on a child's hat, framed buy the grey green foliage of the tree. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
The Eucalyptus trees in the Park near here have white blossoms.

Mary,
They are not native to here but you do find them in Parks & some Gardens until they grow too tall.

A very nice shot with great composition. I like the starburst shape of the flower and the great natural setting. I was surprised to see the looping form of what I presume are the petals.
