Callistemon 'Shannon'
This is a moderately open, medium to large shrub with a
columnar growth habit which grows to approximately 2-3 metres high by 1-2
metres wide. Foliage is bright green and is particularly attractive with a
soft appearance. The bottle brush flowers form in small tight clusters from
October to November. Individual flowers are crimson and are 100mm long and
50mm in diameter.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar may be a C. viminalis hybrid. The large crimson
flowers and unusually soft appearance of the foliage creates a distinct
effect in comparison with other Callistemon cultivars.
Correa 'Mama Maria'
The mature plant is 60 cm x 1. 5 m with a rounded shape and is very compact and dense. Leaves simple narrow elliptical, dark-green, 32 mm x 10 mm, petioles 5 mm, leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate but barely visible, margins entire. Calyx hemispherical 4 mm x 3
mm, green coloured with scattered tiny rust-coloured stellate hairs and minutely toothed, pedicels to 3 mm. Corolla cylindrical 14 mm from calyx to tip, rose pink covered with rose-coloured stellate hairs with pale green tips. Stamens strongly exerted with oblong yellow anthers with longitudinal
dehiscence and pale green filaments. Style green, slightly shorter than the stamens. Flowering begins in February and continues through autumn.
Diagnosis:
This plant has an affinity to both parent plants. The flower colour is a brighter pink than either parent plant and C. 'Mama Maria' has pale green tips unlike C. 'Dusky Bells' which has uniform pink throughout the length of the corolla but like C. decumbens which has green tips. Flowers stand out
horizontally from stems in this hybrid while C. decumbens has flowers which stand upright and at a number of angles on stems and C. 'Dusky Bells' has flowers which hang down from stems. Leaves are an intergrade between the two parent plants, having the narrow elliptical shape of C. decumbens although longer and wider.
Correa glabra var. turnbullii 'Mt Barker Beauty'
A dense, compact shrub approximately 1.5m high x 1m wide, with
glossy dark green foliage. Leaves are ovate to elliptical with obtuse tips,
50 mm x 18 mm in size, glabrous and glossy on top, pale green and glabrous
below with defined venation. Leaves when crushed have a fruity smell.
Flowers occur singly on 4 mm petioles at the ends of short branchlets. The
tubular corolla is 27 mm x 6 mm in size, crimson for most of its length
then grading to pale green on the tips, which are barely recurved. Stamens
are exserted. Flowers gradually turn rose-pink as they age. The calyx is
green, glabrous, square in cross-section with 4 minute teeth at the points
where the petals are fused. Peak flowering is from Autumn to Winter with
sporadic flowering throughout the year.
Diagnosis:
This variety was selected for its compact shape and glossy dark
green foliage.
