Leptospermum Choral Candy

Depending on the plant store/website, some say this manuka is an Australian native and others say it's an NZ native.

Mine came with a tag that says native to Australia so I'll stick with that. It's vigorous and hardy, and doesn't mind difficult ground. It's immensely happy and won't take long to reach its 2m height.

I thought it might be a showy Australian, a bit shouty in the back. It's proved me wrong with elegant double flowers with red and candy-pink stripes. I should blip it insitu beside the bench seat too.

At work today I got sign-off on a video script. Another milestone met on a tight production schedule.

Today's gratitude: For bouncing with energy.
