I love this one too...a lot! So exactly what is it?
That one would be a Meleleuca cuticularis, or Swamp Paperbark
Salt water paperbark they live in saline estuarys and brackish swamps. One of the first trees taken back to the UK by the botanists in the 1700',s
Thanks for the correction Pup
I don't know why I wrote 'swamp', I even checked the card again to see what it was, but still wrote 'swamp paperbark'
Definitely a species I want to get my hands on, as I really only have raphs and nesophylla's at home, plus the odd incana here and there

I haven't seen any better in the bark.. Also to meet and chat to Jason, only briefly however, really topped off the visit. A real pleasure to meet you sir. well done everyone involved.
Glad to see you there mate
Was great to have a chat, think thats one of the best part of the shows is getting to meet all these great people who are just as obsessed as me
That olive was stunner, i actually didn't spot it until later on the first day, but when I did I spent a good 20mins staring in wonder. Is definintely a great bonsai
