    Suddenly in the past few months the Melaleuca is producing dangly branches. We think it is wonderful and looks quite exotic. Reminds me of Spanish Moss when I lived in South Carolina ... but far prettier.

        It is perhaps two meters away from the Callistemon so they actually join forces. :smile:

          Oh, and the dangling brighter green bit in the center is the Tecoma stans, Ginger Thomas.
