Chrysocephalum baxteri 'Midget'
Leafy, compact, low shrub, 15cm high by 30cm wide, with very
small white everlasting flowerheads with yellow discs. As the shrub matures
it develops woody basal stems. Leaves 1.5-4mm long by 0.75mm wide,
alternate, sessile, recurved, apex obtuse. Upper surfaces of leaves
glabrous, lower surface tomentose, flowering stem 5-7cm long, flowerhead
10-15mm across. The rays are fringed. Flowerheads are solitary and
terminal. Flowering period is spring followed by a brief second period of
blooms in January when flowerheads are smaller. Outer involucral bracts are
tan in colour.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar has all the characteristics of the usual forms of
C. baxteri but is distinguished by the diminutive size of all the
characters of the plant - leaves, rays, flowerhead and fruit.
Crowea saligna 'PPCS1'
Small shrub with pink star flowers in Autumn and Winter. Spontaneous mutation: a sport appeared from Crowea saligna that had larger leaves and a taller height.
Dianella caerulea 'DBB03'
A small clumping plant 50cm high x 40cm wide with blue strappy leaves and purple and yellow flowers from September to November.
Dianella caerulea 'DC101'
A small clumping plant 50cm high x 40cm wide with red basal leaves and purple and yellow flowers from September to November.
Dianella caerulea 'DC150'
A small clumping plant 0.3m(h) x 0.4m(w) with blue strappy leaves and purple and yellow flowers from September to November.
Dianella caerulea 'DCMP01'
A small clumping plant 0.4m(h) x 0.4m(w) with strappy leaves and purple and yellow flowers from September to November.
Dianella caerulea 'DCNCO'
strappy leaved shrub which grows to about 0.7m in diameter with blue and yellow flowers and purple fruit.
Spyridium parvifolium 'Nimbus'
It is a dense prostrate shrub growing to a height of about
10mm with a spread of about 2m. The small round leaves are up to 8mm long
by 6-8mm wide. The leaf tip is often indented. The green upper leaf surface
has distinct veining while the underside is silvery and covered with long
silky hairs. New foliage is distinctly grey. The small and insignificant
flowers are borne in clusters at the end of the branchlets.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from other forms of Spyridium
parvifolium in its prostrate habit.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Illumina'
G. 'Poorinda Illumina' grows to a dense shrub about 1m tall
and 1.5m across. Its distinguishing feature is its arched, cascading
branches. The foliage is grey-green which contrasts well with the dark
pink/red flowers. The leaves are about 1.8cm long and 2mm wide with pungent
tips and revolute edges. The flowers are profuse, in terminal clusters on
short branchlets. The perianth is deep pink grading to pale cream on the
limb with matching pink styles.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar bears a great resemblance to G. lavandulacea
which has resulted in confusion over its identity. It differs in that G.
'Poorinda Illumina' has arching branches and the individual flowers are
about 8mm long as compared with those of G. lavandulacea which are about
1cm long.
Grevillea 'Ladelle'
Shrub to 5m, spreading to 4m. Flowering is almost continuous
throughout the year. Flowers occur in terminal crowded cylindrical
inflorescences c. 11-15cm long x 5cm diameter; perianth 10mm long x 3-4mm
wide, outer surface has a moderately dense indumentum of appressed and
erect wavy white hairs, subduing the flower colour. The inner surface is
smooth and glabrous. The limb is covered in dense, erect wavy white hairs.
The pistil is 32-38mm long; ovary sessile, covered in dense flattened white
hairs; nectary prominent, burgundy in colour, with a prominently scalloped
margin; style glabrous with a prominent hoof-like pollen- presenter. The
foliage is open and is grey-green in colour. Leaves are pinnately divided
into c.7-9 sub-opposite lobes; lobes linear -lanceolate c. 4-9mm wide,
40-8-mm long; overall leaf length c.11-17cm. Young leaves are grey-green on
upper surface with an indumentum of semi-appressed white hairs most of
which are shed on maturity. Mature leaves are dark green on the upper
surface. The lower surface has a dense appressed indumentum of silvery
white hairs.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is distinguished from its parent Grevillea 'Misty
Pink' by the deeper colour of the flowers. Its closest comparator is
Grevillea 'Sylvia' which is also a much paler pink.
