Unlike many flowers, the gum blossom doesn’t consist of petals. The colourful bloom is provided by the stamens, which attract pollinators such as insects or nectar-feeding birds. The petals are fused into the operculum, or cap.Many gum blossoms are white, but they come in a kaleidoscope of other colours, including sulphur, orange, vermilion, red, pink, lime and purple.
Flowers: Spasmodically throughout the year.
