Anigozanthos 'Autumn Sunrise'
Stems to ca. 1.75m tall, panicle plumose, slightly villous.
Flowers on pedicels to ca. 6mm long; the wool plumose, dense with red tinge
on the ovary, becoming more yellow green and less dense towards the lobes.
Perianth tube to ca. 4cm long, scabrous inside, hairs longer towards the
base, some with stellate tips immediately above the ovary; lobes to ca. 1cm
long, silvery plumose inside. Anthers oblong-linear, more or less the same
length as filaments, the connective tipped with a gland like appendage.
Ovules 2-6 per locule. The flowering season is November in Western
Australia.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar differs from A. flavidus in having a broader but
shorter perianth tube which tapers gradually from the base to the end of
the tube and the corolla lobes are reflexed. The flower stem is less
branched than A. flavidus and the leaves are broader and less upright. Both
the anthers and the filaments are much longer than A. flavidus, and the
anthers are light green whereas in A. flavidus they are always orange.
Anigozanthos 'Autumn Sunrise' differs from A. pulcherrimus in having
generally broader leaves which are lighter green and more upright. The
perianth tube is longer than A. pulcherrimus and broader, but there are
less flowers per branch. Anthers and filaments are similar in colour and
shape but larger than A. pulcherrimus.

glabrous. Flower stems to 500mm; covered in wooly hairs; stems sometimes
branched. Flowers are tubular to 50mm long; covered in short hairs;
perianth lobes turned back; cream, yellow, orange pink or red in colour.
A. 'Bush Glow':
Leaves to 7mm wide by 400mm long; glabrous. Flower stems to
700mm tall, branched. Flowers tubular, 35-40mm long, perianth lobes
partially recurved, perianth greenish-yellow and densely covered with deep
red hairs, becoming short and sparse on the lower stem and red to red-black
in colour.

Callistemon 'Western Glory'
Grows 2-3 m wide by 2-4 m high as a medium upright shrub.
Leaves are 4-7 cm by 1cm lanceolate ending in sharp point, leathery
prominent central and marginal nerves, young growth covered in long hairs,
glabrous when mature. Flower spikes to 12 cm by 5 cm, mauve red terminal,
often in clusters densely arranged.
Diagnosis:
With close affinities to Callistemon citrinus, this cultivar is
said to be similar to C. 'Red Clusters' but flower spikes are 2 to 4 cm
longer and 1 cm wider. The flower colour is red-mauve to pink against red
in C. 'Red Clusters'.
