EUCALYPTUS DEGLUPTA

The Eucalyptus deglupta planted by me beside the Gardens-by-the-Bay prototype glasshouse office has flowered again and its lightly-fragrant flowers are an attraction to lots of honey bees and wasps! After taking these photos, I quickly scurried away before I get stung by them since I am allergic to stings by wasps etc. I heard that the third sting can be fatal and I was admitted to the hospital twice for such stings already, so I am very wary of such insects.
