Cheers guys and also thanks Raymond for the new bookmarks, they look like great resources. :D

Unfortunately these as well as most of my Aussie natives didn't make it after my own stupidity. Turns out the seaweed stuff I can get here is nothing like seasol and about 3000x more concentrate. Lesson learned. I have only one surviving Callistemon and even that has struggled back to life twice.

Never fear I do have more seeds left and hopefully will plant them out once the heat drops a bit so the saga can continue for another year or two. :lol:

Actually if these are a Lepto I would class that as a score.

Cheers, my fault though and at least I can pin point the error so not all bad.

Got to be honest I can't make much of that pic.

Not sure if these help...
Pretty sure it came from one of these two packets.

I could get the macro lens out but got to find it first.

Unlucky mate. Hope your Callistemon makes it through.
And you're welcome for the links!
Thanks

Hi Starfox . I wouldn't rule out incana . I have a vague recollection that they look similar to this when immature . I grew these back in the 80 s when I worked at a wholesale nursery . I don't think it makes much difference at this stage in growing techniques except that itch in not knowing .
