FIREWHEEL IS FLAMING BEAUTIFUL...

 A couple of blue faced honey eaters were enjoying a feast in a Firewheel tree I've just noticed around here.
Initially, I thought it was a tree Waratah (also from the protea family), however, once I could see the flower, I remembered that Pam posted about her tree a couple of years ago here. I thought it worthy of another appearance. It's quite a stunning flower isn't it?
This photo gives you an idea of the tree's size and shape.
