Leptospermum polygalifolium 'Copper Glow'
A moderately open shrub to 3m tall by 2m wide after 7 years.
The young stems are reddish and the narrowly oblanceolate to narrowly
elliptical leaves are up to 20mm long by 2mm wide. They are bronze-green on
the upper surface and paler beneath. The five petalled flowers are white
and approximately 16mm diameter. The fruits are 6mm diameter with the
typical high dome of the species.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar differs from other forms of L. polygalifolium in
having bronze-green colour to the upper surface of the leaves and reddish
stems of the new growth.
Lomandra longifolia 'Peak Alone Limeglow'
Lomandra 'Peak Alone Limeglow' grows to a height of 40 to 45cm and up to 1m across. The minute cream and brown flowers appear in September to October. The main feature of the cultivar is the extremely attractive variegated foliage.
Diagnosis:
The main difference between this cultivar and the usual form of the species is the variegation of the leaves. The variegation is reasonably regular over the leaf blade and no reversion has been noted. It is said to be a more compact plant than the usual form.
Macropidia fuliginosa 'No Black'
The growth and habit of this cultivar are well within the
usual range of growth forms of Macropidia. Flowering stems of container
grown plants are 100cm high and divaricately branched. Flowers are 45-55mm
long including stamens and up to 40mm wide when the perianth lobes reflex.
The stellate hairs on the perianth are mostly yellow green mixed with grey
orange, towards the ovary they increase in number where they become dense
overlying almost black hairs. The grey orange hairs fade with age to white
especially towards the perianth lobes. Sparse grey hairs are found on the
upper scape. Inside the perianth the lower 2 lobes in particular, at the
point where they reflex have a tinge of black amongst the glabrous shiny
dark green colouring. The black is not evident on the normal forms of
Macropidia growing at Perth Zoo. Whilst the reflexed perianth lobes curl
back as the flowers age they appear to curl back faster in this cultivar
initially at a 90 degrees angle giving the appearance of an open petaloid
flower with only a short portion of the ends of the lobes curling inwards.
Diagnosis:
Habit and form similar to the usual forms of Macropidia. Its
main distinguishing features are the unusual flower colour, predominantly
yellow/green and the open petaloid-like appearance of the maturing flowers.
Melia azedarach 'Lady Gwenda'
This cultivar differs in its variegated foliage. All other
features of the cultivar are as for M. azedarach.
Diagnosis:
The main feature of this cultivar is the variegation on most
leaves and the yellow striation on the fruits. The variegation is
irregular, with some leaflets almost totally yellow while others are the
usual green.
Lomandra hystrix 'LHBYF'
Mat Rush which grows to 1.5m – 1.8m high x 1.2m – 1.5m wide with pale yellow fragrant flower heads from September to November. Full sun to heavy shade.
Grevillea 'Fire Sprite'
A large spreading shrub to c. 3m x 5m with a mid-dense habit
and infertile inflorescences.
Branchlets bronze with dense matted hairs, becoming grey with a shiny waxy
layer with age, striate, erect to slightly spreading.
Leaves normally pinnately divided, occasionally simple, to 25cm long and to
18cm wide. Leaf lobes to 17cm long and to 8mm wide. Upper surface dark
green with scattered deciduous appressed white hairs mostly shed with age.
Lower surface with a mixture of white and bronze appressed hairs either
side of a bronze-haired midvein.
Flowers in a simple to branched erect cylindrical conflorescence on a short
peduncle. Floral rachis bronze with matted hairs, average length 7cm.
Flowers burnt red. Perianth 12mm long (average) x 8mm wide, yellow-green at
the base, becoming orange then pinky-red to deep burnt red at the top of
the curve, lightly covered on the outer surface with a mixture of bronze
and white appressed hairs which become dense and bronze on the limb. Inner
surface with scattered erect white hairs particularly in lower third. Limb
bronze, obtuse, revolute. Pistil to 46mm, style to 36mm, burgundy-red with
spreading long white hairs in lower half. Style end same colour as style.
Ovary with dense spreading white hairs, stipitate above a large, markedly
oblique torus. Flowers during June to October, with scattered flowers for
remainder of year.
Diagnosis:
Foliage has broader lobes than G. longistyla, but finer than G.
venusta. Flowers are a unique deep burnt red and orange/green unlike either
of its parents.
Grevillea 'Ember Glow'
A low spreading shrub, which flowers for most of the year. ‘Ember Glow’ grows approximately 1m high x 2m across.
