Compact growing Anigozanthos hybrid having an average height of 200mm with yellow flowers

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.

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.

Dwarf free flowering Anigozanthos hybrid with yellow and lime green flowers.

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.

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.

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.

Medium strappy leaved shrub with red flowers

Erect medium sized shrub to c. 2m x 2m with a dense habit. Branchlets finely tomentose with rust-coloured stellate hairs becoming green and glabrous with occasional clusters of stellate hairs. Simple leaves broad elliptic or sub-circular, 20 mm x 20 mm. Leaf tips slightly emarginate, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate, margins slightly recurved. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and coriaceous with occasional minute hairs. Upper surfaces of young leaves minutely tomentose. Corolla 10 mm x 10 mm with petals split to calyx, largely white around margins with pale pink spreading along petal from throat. Peak flowering is from April to June in most districts with spasmodic flowering throughout the year. Diagnosis: The normal flower colour for C. alba var. alba is white. Various forms with pink petals occur naturally in both Victoria and Tasmania. This is one of the naturally occurring forms from Victoria. The descriptive name 'Blush' has been used to differentiate this plant from other C. alba var. alba forms which have white petals. The size and habit of the plant conforms to other C. alba var. alba forms.

Prostrate shrub to c. 40 cm x 2-3 m with a moderately dense habit. Branchlets and stems green, glabrous with occasional rust-coloured stellate hairs. Simple cordate leaves, 28 mm x 14 mm, with obvious pattern of oil glands, petioles 6 mm. Leaf apices obtuse, leaf bases oblique, venation reticulate, margins entire. Upper surfaces of mature leaves dark green and glabrous. Upper surfaces of young leaves glabrous with occasional rust-coloured stellate hairs. Lower surfaces pale green, glabrous with occasional white stellate hairs and scattered rust-coloured stellate hairs. Corolla cylindrical 40 mm x 15 mm, pale pink with cream tips. Peak flowering is from May to July in most districts. Diagnosis: The glabrous leaves of this cultivar conform to descriptions for C. pulchella by Wilson (1998). The flower is larger than Wilson's range for C. pulchella and the cream tips are an unusual variation. C. pulchella flowers tend to have only one colour from calyx to tip rather than two. There may be some affinity with C backhouseana in this seedling. The cultivar flower is distinctive because of its size which is larger than most C. pulchella flowers and because of its colour which is different from other C. pulchella hybrids, e.g., 'Dusky Bells', 'Pink Mist', 'Mannii'. It differs from C. 'Firebird' in flower size and colour, in size of plant and growth habit and in leaf shape and tomentum.
