Description
Eucalyptus Marginata, commonly known as jarrah, is a West Australian tree best known for its deep red, insect-resistant wood that has been used for flooring and furniture making for centuries.
A member of the myrtle family, it produces conical, coral buds that open to white flowers consisting of hundreds of pollen-tipped stamens.
This magnificent stumpwork study captures the beauty of this plant, complete with the eggs, pupa, caterpillar and adult form of the grass blue butterfly.
