First flowering of Embothrium coccineum in September 2002. Normally this plant flowers in the spring, but I guess it just couldn't wait. I grew it from a seed in 1999. |

Eucalyptus delegatensis. This plant later died from poor drainage. |
 |
This Eucalyptus mannifera ssp. elliptica X pulverulenta was 9' tall when this snow came, but it stood itself back up all the way afterwards. |
 |
This Eucalyptus elliptica X nitens is going to be a very beautiful tree. The bark smells extremely fruity. |
 |
Eucalyptus fraxinoides does not seem to want to grow on our clay. |
 |
Eucalyptus glaucescens is a very hardy and beautiful euc, and one of my top recommendations for the Pacific Northwest. |

Eucalyptus rubida is called 'candlebark gum' for its smooth attractive bark. |

Eucalyptus stellulata. |
 |
Eucalyptus urnigera is one of my favorite eucs, and should be substituted for E. gunnii whenever possible. |
 |
Eucalyptus vernicosa, a small shrubby species. |
 |
Eucalyptus vernicosa. |
 |
This plant with pointed leaves was supposed to be E. vernicosa, but it is developing into a tree, and is probably a hybrid with E. subcrenulata. |
 |
This form of Euryops pentictatus has silvery leaves. It is in a fairly sheltered spot and does not freeze most years. |
