Featherflowers

G'day B nuts,

for the last few weeks I have been recovering from a slight case of
pneumonia which was no fun at all. Couldn't believe my eyes when I
finally made it out to look at my trees,
this is an Aussie native which I collected in May this year.
This species Verticordia(commonly known as featherflowers) is a very difficult species to collect,
they do not like being disturbed at the roots. Once in Bonsai cultivation it's a little
more forgiving but from the wild not so.

as collected,, Verticordia densiflora

These are the spectacular Feather flowers from a different tree,

thanks for having a look,

Craig..

What a lovely twisted trunk and those flowers look amazing.
This is a new species to me and had to google it, must be another one of those little western gems you have over your way.

@Starfox thanks, definately not a widely used species if at all . this is my other tree.
thankyou for your interest..

Interesting tree and looks like it developing well

Very cool bark and trunk movement, only problem I foresee is to make it full with those feather leaves (or make it look full).

Great tree!!

Very nice trunk/bark and beautiful leaves and flowers too. I like it
