Chamelaucium 'Painted Lady'
Shrub with purple and white flowers.
Selection Criteria: hardy, vigorous, early flowering, floral characteristics, very long flowering and very long vase life
Chamelaucium 'Tickled Pink'
Small flowered, late maturing small branch angled waxflower. Flowers are two-coloured with striped, pale pink-red petals; flowering August to late October.
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.
Correa 'Vanilla Ice'
Dense, spreading low-growing shrub approximately 50 cm high x
1 m wide, with strongly veined mid green ovate to cordate leaves with
obtuse tips, 32 mm x 20 mm in size, glabrous and somewhat scabrous on top,
pale green and velvety underneath with defined venation. The tubular
corolla is creamy white with a light covering of light tan coloured
stellate hairs at the tips, which are recurved, exposing pale pink on the
inside of the petal tips. Stamens are as long as the petals and barely
exerted. The green papery calyx is square in cross-section with 4
triangular pointed lobes. Petioles and pedicels are 2-3 mm long. Flowers
Summer to Winter with spasmodic flowering all through the year.
Diagnosis:
Thought to be a hybrid between C. alba and C. calycina, C.
‘Vanilla Ice’ differs from both these species in both leaf and flower
colour and form. C. calycina leaves are longer, elliptical and thinner and
the flowers are lime green in colour. The calyx is also larger. C. alba var
alba has grayish obovate leaves and white flowers with strongly recurved
petals split to the unlobed calyx.
Correa 'Ian Fardon'
Large spreading dense shrub with upright habit to 1.5 m x 2 m.
It has long ascendant stems. Leaves are on short petioles, dark green,
lanceolate, shiny, glabrous, leathery and convex on top, pale green and
velvety with tiny rusty stellate hairs underneath and having obtuse tips.
28 mm x 8 mm in size. It has the typical aromatic smell of leaves in the C.
glabra group. The ends of young branches are rusty tomentose. Flowers on
short pedicels occur singly at the ends of short branchlets. The pedicels
also have a pair of deciduous bracts. The corolla, which is 2.2 cm x 0.8 cm
in size, is reddish pink with mid green tips and a band of purplish green
in between. The tips are barely recurved. Stamens are exerted. The calyx is
green and cup-shaped with minute teeth. The calyx folds over maturing seed.
Peak flowering is from Summer to Winter with spasmodic flowering most of
year.
Diagnosis:
It appears to be a garden hybrid with C. glabra var turnbullii
and C. reflexa as possible parents. This variety differs from C. glabra var
turnbullii, in that the leaves are smaller and narrower and have some rusty
tomentum on the underside. The flowers appear to be longer and have a band
of a third colour on the corolla. It still has the characteristic aromatic
smell of C. glabra varieties and the flower colour is similar to other C.
glabra var turnbullii forms.
