Taken in a private garden here in Daylesford...retired Monbulk (Victoria) nurseryman Don Teese recently commented on the ornamental value(s) of this species...he was heard to say..."What's not to like...". I now have two separate collections of Herbarium specimens (vouchers) ready for mounting...Cheers JB🌲🌲🌲
