These dainty little blooms are the blossoms of a Lily Pily, if you wish to track it down, look for the tag name Syzygium Bush Christmas. Believe it or not, these plants are more commonly grown for their lovely glossy green leaves and easy hedging habit. If grown in a hedge, the pruning means that the flowers are mostly hidden underneath the foliage, and you only catch glimpses of the bright reddish pink berries when they form. I can vouch for why they make lovely hedges though. They dont like being dried out, however they are a lovely deep green, very thick foliage and are fast growers. If given enough nutrients and water, you will have a solid hedge within a year of planting them (however it will take longer if you buy the smallest available pot plant of them).
