Anigozanthos 'Bush Twilight'
Compact growing Anigozanthos hybrid having an average height of 200mm with yellow flowers
Anigozanthos 'Copper Charm'
This cultivar has glossy green leaves to 40cm long. The
flowers stems are up to 1.7m tall, flowers are orange in colour and the
anthers are cream. The flowers are mainly found from September to November
in Western Australia.
Diagnosis:
A. flavidus:
2m tall; flowers from October to February; leaves are
glabrous; flower stems are branched, flowers are tubular, 3-4cm long,
densely hairy and the lobes are not turned back. The flowers are found in
yellow-green, red and pink.
Anigozanthos 'Copper Charm' :1.7m tall; flowers from September to November;
leaves are glossy green; flower stems are branched, flowers are tubular, ca
50mm long and orange in colour.
A. preissii:
0.6m tall; flowers from August to November; leaves are sparse
and nearly terete, deciduous; flowers are tubular, ca 56mm long, covered in
wooly hairs, lobes not reflexed, orange to yellow red in colour.
This cultivar is similar to Anigozanthos 'Regal Claw', which has orange
backs to the anthers.
Anigozanthos flavidus 'Werite Woorata'
The branched flower spike is approximately 50cm high. The
dominant colour of the flower is dark red to burgundy.
Diagnosis:
The floral tube is reduced from the normal Anigozanthos flavidus
and the petals are lengthened into finger like processes.
Anigozanthos 'Joey Fireworks'
Dwarf free flowering Anigozanthos hybrid with yellow and lime green flowers.
Anigozanthos 'Mini Red'
It is a perennial rosetted herb growing to a height of
approximately 600mm. The leaves are green, long and narrow being about
300mm long and about 8mm wide. The flowers are produced in compact,
branched terminal clusters. Individual flowers are red and about 35-40mm in
length.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from other known forms of
Anigozanthos flavidus in its small, compact habit and dense flower
clusters.
Anigozanthos 'Space Age'
The flower stems are from 1 to 1.5m tall, mostly glabrous with
a few scattered grey brown plumose hairs increasing and becoming purple on
the upper half of the inflorescence. The flowers are usually in ?????? on
thick pedicels to ca. 10mm long. The wool is dark red with some black tips
over the ovary, becoming less red and more yellow green from the ovary
towards the end of the corolla tube. The perianth tube is up to 65mm long
and glabrous inside. The perianth lobes are to 12mm long, grey green and
plumose inside. The anthers are longer than the filaments and the
connective is tipped with a gland-like appendage. The flowering season is
from September to November.
Diagnosis:
Anigozanthos 'Space Age' has a less branched inflorescence than
A. flavidus. The flowers are twice as long and redder in colour.
Anigozanthos 'Space Age' is taller than the .6 - 1m of A. manglesii. Its
flowers are of a similar length but again are a deeper red on the perianth
tube. The ovules are more than 25 per locule.
Anigozanthos 'Velvet Harmony'
This cultivar has stems to ca. 1.1m tall with scattered
plumose green and dark purple hairs becoming more dense on the terminal
branchlets. The flowers are in a terminal branched raceme on pedicels to
ca. 5mm long. They are covered with plumose wool, predominatly dark purple,
which covers the whole inflorescence. The perianth tube is ca. 25-27mm
long, minutely scabrous inside, the hairs becoming less branched, and only
a few with stellate tips towards the base. The perianth lobes are ca. 8mm
long with yellow green plumose hairs inside. The anthers are linear and
about the same lenght as the filaments, the connective tipped with a small
gland-like appendage. There are three to five ovules per locule. The
flowers are produced from October to December.
Diagnosis:
There are two other cultivars that arise from the same hybrid
cross, Anigozanthos 'Unity' and Anigozanthos'Red Cross'. Anigozanthos 'Red
Cross' can be readily distinguished by the yellow patch at the base of the
flower, the slightly larger flower size and slightly taller stature.
Anigozanthos'Unity' has flowers with perianth tubes to 40mm long and is
also slightly taller. Anigozanthos 'Velvet Harmony' is a much darker colour
than the other two hybrids due to its thicker covering of plumose hairs.
Eucryphia lucida 'Ballerina'
The general morphology of the cultivar is as for the species,
but the flower size, at 3cm, is towards the larger end of those recorded
for the species. The flowers are shaded from very pale pink inside to
darker pink edges with crimson stamens.
Diagnosis:
The colour of the flowers is similar to those of E. lucida
'Pink Cloud', but the stamens are crimson, giving the appearance of a
crimson centre.
Grevillea 'Pink Surprise'
Leaves are compound and shiny green on the upper surface. Each
leaf consists of + 20 long narrow lobes, occasionally these being
subdivided into two. Some lobes end in a small hooked point, others in a
straight point. The overall length of a leaf is + 30cm and the width +
10cm. Individual lobes are about 10cm long and 2-4mm wide. The leaf edges
are rolled under. Flowers are pink with long cream to very pale green
styles. Flowers are about 15cm long and approximately 5cm wideand produced
in dense terminal racemes. Individual flowers are borne in tight pairs and
are woolly. Perianth tube and limb together measure about 1.3cm long,
styles are up to 3.5 cm long.
Diagnosis:
G. 'Pink Surprise' can be distinguished from its parents by its
pink flower colour
Callistemon pachyphyllus 'Smoked Salmon'
In cultivation the cultivar is slightly more compact than the
type and attains a height of 1.5m. All morphological characteristics of the
cultivar are as for C. pachyphyllus. The flowers are a salmony pink to
shell pink in colour and are plus/minus 8cm long by plus/minus 6cm wide. It
is stated that in Brisbane this cultivar has some flowers for most of the
year with two main flowering peaks, in summer and from autumn to early
winter. The flowers during the summer months are slightly paler in colour.
Diagnosis:
The cultivar differs from the normal red and green flowering
forms of C. pachyphyllus in the salmon pink to shell pink colour of its
flowers.
