Having only ever seen NSW Christmas Bushes (ceratopetalum gummiferum) in suburban gardens as medium sized shrubs, I was amazed to see this beautiful tall grove of them in the wild at Leura in the Blue Mountains. And showing their colour in late February in contrast to the Sydney suburban ones that are at their most festive in December.
