Chamelaucium 'Painted Lady'
Shrub with purple and white flowers.
Selection Criteria: hardy, vigorous, early flowering, floral characteristics, very long flowering and very long vase life
Chamelaucium 'Tickled Pink'
Small flowered, late maturing small branch angled waxflower. Flowers are two-coloured with striped, pale pink-red petals; flowering August to late October.
Brachychiton 'Griffith Pink'
This cultivar will grow from 9 to 10m tall. The mature leaves
have prominent lobes and are maple like in shape. Mature leaves are up to
12cm broad at their widest point and are distinctly veined. The flowers,
found from approximately November to March, are pink in colour and very
conspicuous. They are slightly hairy, with the hairs being a light rusty
brown colour. The underside of the calyx is mottled with white.
Diagnosis:
Brachychiton 'Griffith Pink' differs from Brachychiton
'Jerilderie Red', a similar cultivar in that the flowers are larger and a
deeper colour and the leaves are lobed. The leaves of Brachychiton
'Griffith Pink' are smaller than B. discolour.
Callistemon 'Firebrand'
This cultivar grows to plus/minus 60cm by 2.5m in width, thus
making it basically prostrate in habit. The cultivar is multibranched with
many branches having a prostrate habit. Some branches are semi-ascendant
but then weep towards the ground. The other foliage characteristics are as
for C. citrinus. Flowering is profuse and the inflorescences are plus/minus
9cm long by 4cm in diameter. The flowering season is from early November to
late December in Melbourne. The flowers are a rich crimson-pink in colour,
the other characteristics ar as for C. citrinus.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar differs form normal forms of C. citrinus in its
semi-prostrate habit.
Correa 'Pink Delight'
Prostrate shrub to c. 40 cm x 2-3 m with a moderately dense
habit. Branchlets and stems green, glabrous with occasional rust-coloured
stellate hairs. Simple cordate leaves, 28 mm x 14 mm, with obvious pattern
of oil glands, petioles 6 mm. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases oblique,
venation reticulate, margins entire. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark
green and glabrous. Upper surfaces of young leaves glabrous with occasional
rust-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces pale green, glabrous with
occasional white stellate hairs and scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs.
Corolla cylindrical 40 mm x 15 mm, pale pink with cream tips. Peak
flowering is from May to July in most districts.
Diagnosis:
The glabrous leaves of this cultivar conform to descriptions for
C. pulchella by Wilson (1998). The flower is larger than Wilson's range for
C. pulchella and the cream tips are an unusual variation. C. pulchella
flowers tend to have only one colour from calyx to tip rather than two.
There may be some affinity with C backhouseana in this seedling. The
cultivar flower is distinctive because of its size which is larger than
most C. pulchella flowers and because of its colour which is different from
other C. pulchella hybrids, e.g., 'Dusky Bells', 'Pink Mist', 'Mannii'. It
differs from C. 'Firebird' in flower size and colour, in size of plant and
growth habit and in leaf shape and tomentum.
