The Daily Post word prompt: Transformation
The Paperbark trees are flowering. The lovely creamy white blossoms attract birds, bees and all manner of insect. I thought that they were just the perfect thing to Transform
The original photo. The Paperbark blossoms in the early morning light.
Add a bit of green.
Perhaps increase the brightness
Then play around a bit to make this.
Some people have said it reminds them of a May Gibbs drawing. Australians will know Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. Have as look here to see a bit of my Australian childhood

Wow, that last photo is a bit fabulous.

I was intrigued when I saw the title of your post — here in the north we also have a paperbark tree – it’s a maple species, Acer griseum – with beautiful exfoliating, cinnamon colour bark. I really like the flowers of your Melaleuca. Do they attract a lot of pollinators?

They most certainly do. Many Rainbow Lorikeets, King Parrots, Scarlet Honeyeater Little and Noisy Friarbirds are regular birds. Lots of native as well as honey bees, beetles, wasps etc. I am sure there would be moths at night.

How very strange! They look like bottlebrush flowers that someone has spilt bleach on. Was it you? 🙂 🙂
