AusBonsai

Hi All,
Collected two of these several months ago ,not the greatest but something a little different. Very small leaves about seven to eight mm long and minute white flowers about one mm long. Hoping the good folk on aus bonsai maybe able to I.D for me. Any suggestions regarding styling always welcome.....The bottom branch is seven cm from ground level, the next clump of foliage is about forty cm from ground level. A very tall lean tree , however the trunk has a bit of potential.
Thanks John.

Difficult to see detail, possibly podocarpus

Some variety of Leucopogon perhaps?

Agree that some closer shots of bark and foliage may help.

I'm with Boics. If not leucopogon then another of the natives known as 'heaths'. There are quite a few different plants in that group.

Thanks Gerard ,i think Boics and Shibui are on the money. Looks very closely like Leucopogon juniperinus . I will start a bit of work on them , would be nice to get a few more branches to work with.. I will cut back a few places to see if it will back bud. Cheers John.

A quick update on this little one. Unfortunately have not been able to get any back budding ,so have been working with what I have. The flowers have been sensational and have been going strong for the last month ,will get into a pot in a month or so. Feedback in regards to design etc would be greatly appreciated. Cheers John.

Hi John
kudos to you keeping one of these in cultivation!

I can positively ID this as Darwinia fiscicularis. an amazing species !

I agree Hugh. Darwinias are not easy to maintain in pots although East coast species seem to be more robust than Western ones.
I think Hugh has a typo in the name - D. fascicularis

Big thanks for the I.D. Hugh and back up from Shibui .Sounds like I might have a bit of work in front of me. I will be a little generous in size of Pot selection. Have noticed they really appreciate a fair bit of water even over winter and new growth is incredible vertical . Hopefully I can get them to fill out with tip removal. Cheers John.
