No photo of the windswept (juniper I think?)..
That one was an absolute cracker!

Would have loved to see some more detail of what I believe to have been the "natives" area..
Some awesome specimens in there.

Great day and I picked up some good stuff.
Cheers for putting this event on YVBS!

Great day out, congratulations to YVBS - a very nice display. My favs were the Black Peppermint Euc up back, the elm forest, and the Crepe Myrtle over rock that showed a beautiful little story. The setup definitely worked better the year with the marquee out front. And yes, picked up a couple of Pat's little gems. :tu:
Cheers, Ryan

Rhodohypoxis (think that's the right spelling) flower early spring well into summer, great to have on the benches for a bit of colour. CraigW60 has a bunch of little plants that are great as companions :D

Hi Guys, there are two versions of google with a different numbering - don't know why! :lost: The best way of identificatin is - go to the photo of the whole stage and in the back row the tall tree on the right is the Narrow-Leaved Black Peppermint - Eucalyptus nicholii. The tall tree on the left is a Yellow Box - Eucalyptus melliodora. The small one on the left is a Coastal-Tea Tree - Leptospermum laevigatum, the small one in the middle is a Tick Bush - Kunzea baxteri and the small one on the right is a Dwarf Lillypilly - Syzygium smithii.
Hope this is of some help?! :fc:

Cheers, Rudi
