Anigozanthos 'Autumn Mystery'
The flowering stems are up to 1m tall with sparse stellate
hairs towards the base, becoming woolly and plumose towards the flowers.
The flowers are in simple terminal racemes, on pedicels to ca. 5mm long.
The hairs are plumose and woolly, having red tips with yellow bases over
the ovary changing to yellow tips with red bases toward the perianth lobes.
The anthers are linear and more or less the same length as the filaments,
the connective tipped with a gland like appendage. The ovules are numerous.
The flowering season is the spring months.
Diagnosis:
The flowers of Anigozanthos 'Autumn Mystery' are longer than for
A. flavidus but shorter than A. manglesii. They attain a similar shape and
width to A. manglesii with a less prominent ovary than A. flavidus. The
base of the perianth tube is red on the ovary but doesn't immediately
become green above like A. manglesii. Instead, the hairs are mixed red with
a greater portion of yellow green hairs the colour of those on A. flavidus
. Anigozanthos 'Space Age' is a cultivar resulting from the same hybrid
cross and has somewhat taller stature and indistinctly larger flowers than
Anigoizanthos 'Autumn Mystery' (perianth tube ca. 60mm versus ca. 52mm).
The flowers of Anigozanthos 'Space Age' are wholly deep red, but those of
Anigozanthos 'Autumn Mystery' appear yellow to brown with touches of red.
