Callistemon salignus 'Great Balls of Fire'
Growing to a height of 1.75m with a spread of 1.5m, C. 'Great Balls of Fire' was bred for its particularly dense compact habit and the intense red hues of its new emerging growth.
Callistemon viminalis 'Prolific'
A small tree to 6m high by 4m across with pendulous branch
tips. The leaves are narrowly elliptical to 50mm long by 7mm wide. The
bright red flowers are borne in spikes clustered near the branch ends. Each
spike is about 80mm long by 40mm across. They are seen in late spring and
summer and again in autumn in the eastern states and from June to October
in Western Australia.
Diagnosis:
The only significant differences between this and other forms of
C. viminalis are its prolific flowering habit and the flowering spikes
borne in clusters at the branch ends. The branch ends are not as pendulous
as some forms. It is not readily identifiable.
Callistemon 'Woolomin Sparkler'
A medium-sized shrub to 3m high by 2m across with compact
habit and dense foliage. The leaves are narrowly oblanceolate to 80mm long
by 7mm wide tapering towards the base. The apex is pointed. The red flowers
are borne in spikes clustered near the branch ends. The anthers are yellow.
Each spike is about 80mm long by 60mm across from specimen, although spikes
to 120mm long are claimed by the originator. Flowers over a long period
starting September, peak October and again March and April.
Diagnosis:
Differs from C. salignus pink form in having:
* Red flowers
* Flower spikes borne in clusters near the branch ends
* Extended flowering period
Differs from C. 'Harkness' in having:
* Shorter flower spikes
* Shorter leaves
* More upright habit
Differs from C. citrinus in having:
* Lighter green leaves
* Flower spikes in clusters
* Extended flowering period
Callitris 'Golden Zero'
Diagnosis:
The plant is identical to its parents except that the foliage is
golden yellow throughout the year.
Carpobrotus glaucescens 'CAR10'
Prostrate creeping succulent that has long trailing stems up to 2m. Commonly called Pigface, this native Carpobrotus produces large deep pink flowers in spring and autumn with purple stems.
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:

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.
