One of the great success stories of the Australian bush food industry, the Macadamia Nut is extremely popular both here in Australia and further abroad and is most delicious. The flowers of this variety were cream coloured (exact variety unknown), but other varieties can have a more red/pink or yellow tinge to their flowers. This photo was taken at the Macadamia collection at the Caboolture Regional Environmental Education Centre (CREEC), a 2.5 hectare collection of different Macadamia Nut varieties.
