Good tree Gerard but I think it deserves a new pot. Maybe you could snaffle one at the convention?

Yes, much nicer with all the flowers open. Interestingly the centre of the flower starts off pale green and changes to a dark cherry colour after a few days.

The flowers look so nice. I've been trying to find a tea tree that grows locally to Canberra.

This variety is local to Canberra, it was developed at Bywong nursery. It is a cross cultivar of leptospermum scoparium, leptospermum macrocarpum and leptospermum duense.

Keels, the local native plants society has a sale twice yearly at the ANBG - sadly, just last weekend. They publish a plant list a couple of weeks earlier, and note which species are local. Leptospermum obovatum is local, and usually available (and I happen to like it!) - there are others. You might also like to explore Cool Country Plants at Pialligo - they have a lot of interesting tube stock, and label stuff if it's local. Mesmer Eyes grows well here, and is available.

Good hunting,

Gavin
