Hi, trying to ID this thing. Australian native, bottlebrush type flower approx 50mm florescent lime green with a weepy habit of grey green foliage. I struck this cutting from the mother plant because of the way it was growing, all twisty and turny like some of the beautiful sticky wattle bonsai, mother plant is approx 10+ years old, but trunk thickness only about 20 odd mm. The mother plant is about 1m x 1.5m, i take this to be it's full height/width. Flower is amazing. Foliage is soft and velvety. Any ideas?

Blurry, out of focus pictures make it very hard to ID.
The seed pods look like Melaleuca. Try Melaleuca incana. Flowers are usually yellowish but the soft grey foliage looks about right.
