Some native stock for 2023

I received a very generous xmas present from my handsome alter-ego, cunningly disguised as myself.

It was great, just what I wanted:

Grevillea 'pink midget'
I have tried my hand at Grevillea before, but they never really held my interest for that long. But this variety has me intrigued. Small leaves and small flowers and they seem quite bushy. Knowing my luck, it might be dead a month after its first repot.

Banksia paludosa 'little pal'
These are magic. The most pretty of the broad leaf type Banksia genus in my opinion. Very pretty colours.

Melaleuca claret tops
You can't go wrong with M. linarifolia. This will hopefully make a very nice shohin.

Melaleuca C.F.Payne
Not familiar with this one, but the foliage and bark is another one that has intrigued me.

Looking forward to seeing how they go. I no longer do large trials, but I bought these randoms on a whim from the Glendale Native Nursery up in Newcastle. Thanks Dylan :beer:

Ahh yes, the other one of us who is capable of passing a nursery without stopping in, not incapable of leaving without a few plants. Know him well

Some nice pick ups there, hopefully more knowledge to be gained from them and added to the brains trust
