It's yellow and consists of curly little tendrils -- very showy and mostly at the tips or very top of the tree. It's native to Australia and is quite lovely. Your birds have good taste!Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083972644520423811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337291898556479782.post-69991605542718102552009-04-06T14:52:00.000-07:002009-04-06T14:52:00.000-07:00Amazing!
