Lechenaultia 'Park Pride'
Open prostrate habit 40-120mm high by 150-250mm wide with
potential to become wider. Short vertical flowering branches arise from the
main horizontal branches which radiate from a single stem. Leaves are
green, 5-6mm long and terete. Flowers tubular, tube 10mm long, split to
base along upper surface, pale purple pink. Lobes 5, 6-8mm long, lower 3
winged, upper 2 pointed with reduced wings, cream pink inner and wings.
Sepals 5, free, green, 4mm long, 1mm wide. Stamens 5, filaments 4mm long,
anthers basifixed, yellow. Stigma, indusium 2mm broad, purple pink, held at
mouth of corolla tube. Style 10mm long. Fruit 12-15mm long, terminated by
persistent sepals. Perpetual flowering in cultivation.
Diagnosis:
Characterised by prostrate habit with significantly improved
vigour over purported parents. The flower shape is intermediate between L.
floribunda and L. tubiflora. Colour is distinctive, not observed in either
parents or other Lechenaultia species. Perpetual flowering in cultivation.
Westringia 'Poorinda Pavane'
This cultivar is a bushy shrub up to 2.5m tall by 1.5-2m wide.
The leaves are from 10-25 long by up to 8mm wide and above though the young
growth does have a few fine white appressed hairs on the upper surface. The
undersurface is coated with short, white appressed hairs. The midribs are
prominent. The flowers are pale violet in colour. The calyx is hairy and
the corolla has a scattering of fine hairs. The flowering season is from
October to November.
Diagnosis:
Westringia 'Poorinda Pavane':
up to 2.5m tall by 1.5-2m wide; leaves
elliptical to lanceolate; glabrous above; small appressed white hairs
underneath; 10-25mm long by up to 8mm wide; leathery lamina; recurved
margins; whorls of 3-4; prominent midrib; flowers pale violet; calyx hairy;
flowers mainly October to November.
W. glabra:
To 1.5cm tall by 1m wide; leaves elliptical, glabrous, shiny
dark green; underside green but paler than upper surface; 10-50mm long by
2-15mm wide; very thin lamina; margins slightly recurved; whorls of 3-4;
prominent midrib; flowers bluish-mauve with orange spots; calyx almost
glabrous; flowers from October to December.
W. fruticosa:
1-2m tall by 1-2m wide; leaves broad linear, glabrous green
above; whith appressed hairs below; 10-25mm long by 2-5mm wide; leathery;
margins turned under; whorl of 4 crowded onto branchlets; flowers white to
pale mauve; calyx densely hairy; orange spots in throat; flowers over most
of the year.
Melaleuca hypericifolia 'Ulladulla Beacon'
It grows from 0.3 to 0.6m tall with a spread of 1 to 2m. The
flowers occur in the spring and summer months and are a bright orange red
in colour. Other features of the cultivar are as for Melaleuca
hypericifolia.
Callistemon 'Red Reika'
This cultivar grows to about 4m tall by 3 to 4m wide. The
flowers are red in colour, 150mm long by about 65mm wide. The flowering
period is from October to December.
Diagnosis:
In most respects this cultivar is similar to Callistemon
'Harkness'.
It can be distinguished from Callistemon 'Harkness' by the longer and wider
inflorescences and by the flower colour, which is a deeper red.
Other notes:
The cultivar has proven drought tolerant and frost hardy.
Propagation must be by vegetative means to preserve the cultivar form.
Hardenbergia violacea 'Aspiration'
It is a scrambling creeper attaining a spread of about 5m
across and with support will climb to a height of about 2m. The leaves are
dark green, about 55mm wide at the base, and taper to a rounded point.
Veining on the upper surface is very distinct. The pink pea-shaped flowers
are produced in compact and numerous racemes arising from the leaf axils
and held vertically above the foliage. Individual flowers are about 10mm
long and about 10mm wide.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from other known forms of the species
in its very compact and numerous racemes with musk pink flowers. These
racemes are held vertically. The species usually has violet flowers. This
cultivar will most commonly be known as H. violacea 'Austraflora
Aspiration'.
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.
Anigozanthos 'Rambovour'
A medium sized kangaroo paw 1-1.7m(h) x 1-1.5m(w) with red flowers on branched stems in Spring and Summer.
