[I.D] Native? Collection Info

[Pearcy001]

Hello all,

I was down at the in-laws over the last week and noticed this at their property. Looks to me to be a native, Wondering if anyone can confirm species from my snaps below?

I am also seeking advice on collecting the species once if is identified too if possible?

Cheers,
Pearcy

Looks very much like Thryptomene. I think pink flowers are usually T. saxicola which is a WA native but grown extensively in gardens and for cut flowers. The common garden Thryptomene that has been planted extensively is T. calcyna from the Grampians but usually has white flowers. There are other Thryptomene species but I'm not sure if any are native to your inlaws' area (or indeed where that may be?)
You also haven't said whether this is likely to have been planted or a local native. It is always possible that some garden plants can self seed outside the garden and thus appear to be locals in nearby bush land.

So far I have not been able to transplant any older thryptomene. All attempts have very quickly died. Not certain if they will shoot from bare wood but I suspect not.

Thanks Neil, maybe it's best I just leave this one to do it's thing them. It has been planted so cannot really say if it's local to a particular area.
