Corymbia ficifolia: A Western Australian native tree with several small outlying populations further to the East, grows on sandy soils in low-lying areas of woodland. Corymbia Ficifolia, Baby Orange, belongs to the family—MYRTACEAE. A small Australian flowering gum growing to around 3-4m tall. One of the most outstanding flowering trees in Australia with conspicuous flowers in vermillion-orange that cover the canopy in summer, followed by large woody fruits known as honkey nuts. The brilliant orange flowers in summer bring the birds into the garden. A gum tree for every garden, the eucalyptus flowers for everyone.
Hsin Lin’s series 'Bloom Like Flowers' explores the process of blooming and our connection to nature. The signature series features meticulously detailed acrylic paintings and prints that celebrate native Australian flora and wildlife and highlight the ecologies and habitats that support and connect them. Hsin Lin’s professional background in fashion design informs her skill and ability to capture the organic textural details of these subjects. Through sensitive observation and illustration every petal, facet or filament is rendered on canvas.
