Australian flora & fauna cushions

I've been making cushions which have centre panels featuring Australian native birds & plants, as you have probably seen in past blog posts of mine.
While I was uploading this I realised that the cushion on the right has an illustration of a Red Flowering Eucalypt Gum, this is the same plant as the one I have photographed them with... a total coincidence...freaky! There are brightly coloured parrot type birds named Rainbow Lorrikeets that often visit that tree to feed on the flowers, these birds are not so dissimilar to the on on the cushion...I'll have to try to photograph one for you.
