Late Spring Flowering

I was inspired by Pup's privet flowers and so I thought I would show mine as well. Now Pup's had nice neat tight foliage pads and a few flowers, mine is a little more open, and a bit bigger that his.
While I was out with the camera I took a couple of other trees in flower so I hope you like them.

This is a bottle brush I dug about three years ago and I think it is ready for a pot and some serious work now. If you have any suggestions, please feel free.
As luck would have it, this has been inspired by Pup's bottle brush at the National Collection.

I'm not sure what this is, but I have had it for quite a few years but lost the tag. I understand its a native but .......
I didn't do a size comparison, but its only about 100mm tall.

Looks like Myoporum parvifolium, Watto.
It is a strong growing groundcover that was quite popular a few years ago. Don't see so much of it around now though.

Yes, thankyou Neil that's it. Now I have seen the name I remember it. Much appreciated.
PS - Pup's got a lot to answer for if I'm following his lead????
