Snow Peppermint

Snow Peppermint  Eucalyptus coccifera by Heidi Krajewsky
On a recent hike up Mount King William I in the Central Highlands of Tasmania, my husband and I were engrossed in photographing the trunks of these Snow Peppermints.  The patterns and colours are beautiful and lead to abstract painting. 

I have only lived in Tasmania for two years and have tried hard to identify and learn all the different eucalypt species (there's at least 29).  I think that it will take lots of practice to keep them all straight without the aid of the "Eucaflip", a great ID guide for the genus.
