Meet one of many Australian #SilkyOak’s that are coming into their own at the moment.

Gosh we are spoilt at the moment!

Whilst this is a huge tree, some of its flowers were at reaching distance so was able to get some close ups!

This specimen is blossoming beautifully in a public garden in Hawthorn East

Just delightful!
