These are #rainboweucalyptus!

Aka #Eucalyptusdeglupta or Rainbow Gums.

These #gums are SO unique.

No… kids haven’t been defacing these gums with crayons or fluro-pens.

Their vibrant colours are all natural.

Ive featured these gorgeous #gums before, but have found a number of new pics to share… 👇

These are fair-dinkum real. And they’re absolutely stunning!!

🧐 Known facts about the #rainbowgum:

- When a rainbow eucalyptus sheds its bark it reveals a neon green inner layer. Over time, as this layer is exposed to air, it ages into different colors. They display bright reds, oranges, blues, pinks and purples.

- The different colours appear as different layers fall off, while other exposed areas begin aging.

- Rainbow eucalyptus is the ONLY eucalyptus tree native to the #northernhemisphere.

- They’re found mainly in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia.
