Pink Flowering Gum

Flowering tree. in Brisbane, Australia.

The ribs on the flowers buds tell me that it could be Corymbia ptychocarpa, but most likely it is a C.ficifolia / C.ptychocarpa hybrid.
Probably cultivar Corymbia "Summer Glory" - it has deep pink flowers

    Наверняка пчёлы опять виноваты!! :))

    Vlad, 'Summer Beauty' and 'Summer Red' are also hybrids of the same parential Corymbias, but I have never seen ribs on its flowers buds. It is just my guess and observation.
