gumnuts on a eucalyptus tree...
They usually appear autumn/winter and turn from green to a woody brown...
If they are placed in a paper bag in a warm place, the gumnuts release seeds as they ripen...

I miss all the different gum nuts from when I lived in San Diego, and the fragrances of the various eucalyptus trees. The gum nuts look kind of like a cannon.
Oh Gemma the gum nuts are lovely, I have never seen them before.
Lovely!
Fascinating. And what do you do with the seeds? Are they edible or useful?
Excellent recording, such seeds I've never seen!
Greetings from Germany
Really wonderful with this very special form. Amazing !
Best regards, Synnöve
They look like a bunch of bells, so very pretty!
Such interesting looking seed pods. A great image.
Gumnuts are so neat! When I see them, they always remind me of The Gumnut Babies stories by May Gibbs.
Unique capture. Thanks for sharing.
Gemma, love eucalyptus! They are so beautiful, smell amazing and then such unique seed pods. Thank you very much for your visit to my blog :-)
A wonderful macro, Gemma !
