Yellow Box [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

The large E melliodora across
the road from us in Kambah, that was visited by the Swift Parrots last
autumn, has been in flower for about a week now.  I, too, have only
noticed the attraction of bees and butterflies.  I've also noticed
a couple of E melliodora at the Kambah adventure playground in flower
as well.  I haven't been able to tell if the massive melliodora
in the median strip near the Kambah Village is flowering but it is the
most spectacular example of the species I've seen in urban Canberra.  If
anyone who knows this tree and also knows of another melliodora
that might surpass it in size and form, I would love to hear from you on
the details of where it is.

Two of the large yellow box trees in our garden are beginning
to flower.  Thus far they are "only" attracting bees and
butterflies but one lives in hope that a few larger winged animals will
turn up for the feast in the near future.  Presumably this event will
not be restricted to Carwoola.
