It's definitely many years away from being anything more than a stick in a pot, but flowers are a big win.

Good result, thanks for the photos. The flowers don't appear to arise right at the ends of long shoots, so there's a chance they may flower as bonsai.

Have you thought to grow them in something bigger, and faster, to cut back hard and get a thick trunk quicker? Most of my Eucs usually like that, but come to think of it, my E. kruseana keep dying.... I don''t think your climate's that much drier than ours in Canberra, it's probably just that they hate me...

Yes definitely, I'm still in the newbie phase of needing to own one of every single species (and dig out stupidly-big stumps) but this one will get some more attention and an up-pot this season.
