    These are the two main yellow forms available (but not easy to find)
    Callistemon Salignus [​IMG]
    Callistemon Pallidus [​IMG]
    And the difference between the flowers. The larger flower is Salignus . [​IMG]

    :( strongy, I was hoping to grow one from the seeds you sent me...but a cat used my frame as an indoor toilet and c*****d and p****d in the trays. :eek: ... I lost C. Glory vines from Nathan..countless seedlings from PeterS and one of Petes Accacias that looked as if it was half eaten :mad:
    Any chance of more seeds, as and when, Mate?

    Nice plant strongy, I've only got the red ones.
    How hardy do you think they might be?
    I like Salignus best I think. [​IMG]

    I've never seen yellow ones either. I do have a Melaleuca (tea tree) same family as Callistermons, which could be white, red or yellow but it hasn't bloomed yet.

    Interesting!

    I have a Melaleuca Armillaris which had three small white flowers, it is three feet high and not quite eighteen months old. I ordered the seed on ebay to give it a try and was sent about 2,000 seeds! I hope the flowers will get bigger in time.
    Callistemons would do well where you are, some of my seeds came from the Med as did some of my Caesalpinias. I envy you where you live, All those reptiles :D birds and plants we can't grow outside here.! :(

    Strongy,

    I would not mind some of the Salignus seeds, if you ever get any spare.

    I'll look monday, if I don't have any ready seed I can send some seed capsules for you to dry out(take about 3 weeks).
