The Eucalyptus family of trees provides the floral industry with many ubiquitous products that we see used in contemporary design, as well as some rather esoteric items as well. The variety of shapes and sizes seen in the foliage alone is impressive; from the Spiral form of Baby Blue, to the ovate leaves of Silver Dollar, the tiny leaves of E. parvifolia or the the willowy leaves of E. nicholii. The flowers of many of the eucalyptii are also fabulous, available in Hot Pink, Red and White and which range in size from large baseball size blooms to clusters of tiny flowers. Then there are of course the wonderful seeded eucalyptus varieties which most popularly are available in big “gum-nut” types. And what of the seeded eucalyptus, that is frequently used as a filler, I hear you ask?
Well, the versatile filler we have come to know as “Seeded Euc” is not in fact bearing seeds at all. They are in fact flower buds, with a rare feature found only in Australia, and which contributed to the name we use today.
