Callistemon 'Bob Bailey'
The general morphology of this cultivar resembles C. viminalis, growing to 5m tall by 3m wide. The flowers are in dense spikes 100-160mm long by 60mm wide and the filaments are pink in colour. The
flowering season in Townsville is from August to October.
Diagnosis:
Callistemon 'Bob Bailey' can be distinguished from the typical
form of the species by the denser arrangement of flowers on the spikes and
by the flower colour.The filaments are pink instead of the more usual red.
The inflorescence is also slightly wider than is usual for the species.
Other notes:
The cultivar was introduced to horticulture in limited numbers
in 1984. It has proved drought tolerant in Townsville, with even young
plants surviving well through an extended dry period. The general
performance of the cultivar in other parts of Australia should be as for
C. viminalis. The cultivar must be grown by vegetative means to ensure the
cultivar form.
Crowea 'Festival'
This cultivar is a small, dense shrub that grows to
approximately 1m high by 1m wide. The flowers are star shaped, deep pink in
colour and plus/minus 20mm in diameter. It flowers from November to March
in Sydney with occasional flowers being found at other times of the year.
The leaves are 30-40mm long by plus/minus 4mm wide and narrow elliptical to
elliptical in shape. Leaf margins are entire.
Diagnosis:
Crowea 'Festival' can be distinguished from C. saligna as the
leaves, even though of a similar shape to C. saligna, are smaller. C.
saligna and Crowea 'Festival' have narrow elliptical to elliptical leaves
30-40mm long by plus/minus 4mm wide. C. saligna has very distinct angular
branches, to the point of being "winged". C. exalata has just discernable
angular branches. C. 'Festival' has branches similar to C. exalata. Colour
forms similar to this cultivar can be found in both C. exalata and C.
saligna. However, propagation of these species can be difficult at times.
Crowea 'Festival' propagates readily in a few weeks, giving a good
percentage strike. This cultivar must be grown by vegetative means to
preserve the form. It readily accepts heavy pruning and is a good
cutflower.
