These pictures are from this week on the way up Little Hugel (but with a crappy phone camera that couldn't focus close enough to get any really good shots).

Flowers of Nothofagus cunninghamii (Myrtle) & gunnii (Fagus)

I’ve not noticed the flowers of Myrtle trees (Nothofagus cumminghamii) before, probably due to the subdued colouring, but the flowers are prolific and quite pretty.

Even with a good macro lens, they're hard to photograph.

Thanks NNW... nice pics (and way better than my phone-camera shots!)
Are they gunnii or cunninghamii? The shape, structure and distribution of the leaves look more like gunnii to me. but it's a bit difficult to be sure, at that scale.
(I've changed the title of the topic, to cover both, in any case.)

It's N cunninghamii, but weather pruned. Both are up there, but only the cunninghamii was flowering at that time. The King Billies were also at it.
