Do you know any more about the tree whose flowers are in the first photo?
I have a similar flowering tree in my yard, which is not in flower right now - winter. I can't identify it.
I'm sure it's a member of the Eucalypts (big, big family) and I thought maybe an angophora but the flowers don't seem right. I corralled the local plant expert and she doesn't know it, but suggested it may be from a lot further north. The leaves grow not in a herringbone pattern, but in pairs opposite each other which I think I can discern in the photo.
It flowers in summer and has long thin filaments of air roots hanging down. It would explain a lot if it's not even an Aussie tree. TIA
