Pink Gumnut Blossom

Pink gumnut growing on an Australian gum tree. 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 (except in Angophora). While many gum blossoms are white, they come in a kaleidoscope of other colours, including sulphur, orange, vermilion, red, pink, lime and purple
