Grevillea 'Raspberry Dream' looking good in the nursery this morning after overnight rain. I wasn't that excited about this recent release from the Kings Park hybrid grevillea breeding program when I first saw it but after some extensive testing in the garden (and by 'testing I mean leaving a batch sitting in pots for six months at the back of the house before finally remembering I still had them - then cutting them back to nothing before planting!) they are actually pretty good.

They flower a lot and respond well to a hard prune - new foliage is finer and a lighter green than a lot of other red/orange/pink hybrids.

Parentage of this hybrid is pretty interesting. I've see it described as 'involving' Grevillea scortechinii (black flowers) and a hybrid of Grevillea 'Little Honey' (orange/yellow flowers) and Grevillea formosa (large yellow/green flowers). 'Little Honey' is thought to be 'Honey Gem' and G. banksii 'White Dwarf' ... 'Honey Gem' is G. banksiii red form and G. pteridifolia. So quite a lot going on in the mix there!

Our Daphne is blooming early this year (usually March/April). It's amazing how such tiny flowers emit a scent you can smell from several feet away. Luckily it's quite lovely!

Grevillea candelabroides (grafted) flowering in the garden at Corunna, NSW. This beautiful WA species features attractive foliage and large sprays of creamy white flowers (which are scented). Grafted plants are a good option in the east and can be long lived in areas with summer humidity. Unfortunately not often seen in general nurseries although does occasionally become available in small numbers.

Kangaroo paws (Anigozanthos hybrid) and Grevillea plurijuga currently flying the flag for WA flora in the Corunna, NSW garden.

Grafted G. plurijugas are now more widely available in SE NSW nurseries (as G 'Purple Haze') and do pretty well in local conditions.

Just discovered these Saxifraga stolonifera in the nursery today (woodland perennials are definitely not my thang!) ... love the two longer petals on each flower.

Might have to take a slight detour from the Australian natives if I ever actually finish the Grevillea collection and set up a woodland glade somewhere down near the creek ;)

Phebalium stenophyllum 'Golden Glow' flowering well in dappled light near Corunna, NSW (client's garden).

Wasn't that long ago that it was rare to see any Phebaliums in general nurseries or local gardens but over the last few years attractive select forms of P. squamulosum, P. nottii, P. stenophyllum and P. whitei (as grafted plants) have become more available.

Still relatively obscure compared to other popular Aussie Rutaceae (Correa, Crowea, Philotheca etc) but a really good option if you're after a compact yellow-flowering shrub that will handle a bit of dappled light in the native garden.

First garden casualty of the recent wild winds at Corunna, NSW - finally lost the 20+ year old grafted Grevillea flexuosa (Zig Zag Grevillea) in the bottom veggie patch.

This was orginally planted as a test of how well the Grevillea robusta rootstock would handle really wet, boggy conditions as parts of the bottom veggie patch remain waterlogged for much of the year in non-drought times.

In recent years it has started to struggle a little with some branches dying off - plus some regular heavy pruning by the cows! Recent gusty westerly winds snapped a main branch which then dragged the whole plant over. RIP.

Last year I planted a new one up in the main garden as a backup - so hopefully I can get another 20 years out of it as well!

This rare/endangered WA grevillea is sometimes available in the east grafted on G. robusta rootstock but there are some doubts about the long term compatibility of this combo and it is not often seen in general nurseries these days. Hopefully a grower will start doing larger numbers of plants with intergrafts - or on a different rootstock - as they make spectacular garden plants.

'Pink Champagne' is the first Epimedium out in full bloom in the Tilba Tilba garden this year - with the delicate buds opening in late-winter. Epimediums are one of the perennials that get the most likes and comments when featured on the nursery's social media - possibly because they are not that well know in this neck of the woods.

All of the flowering bulbs seem to be arriving at the same time this year. Usually there is a slower progression of the blooms.

Carrington Falls Grevillea - Grevillea rivularis - endangered NSW species with a very limited population in the wild. I've ended up with several plants in a paddock, presumably seedlings from an old stock plant. Foliage is pretty prickly which is probably why it's rarely seen in nurseries - with many cultivated plants actually x acanthifolia hybrids (like 'Carrington Cross'). G. rivularis is also said to be one part of the well known 'Bronze Rambler' hybrid (crossed with 'Poorinda Peter').
