Well, I went and got my second true Aussie native! :tu:

Melaleuca bracteata and in South Africa it is known as Johannesburg Gold. What do you all think? :fc:

Nice one Andrew :tu:

In Australia the common name for M. bracteata is Revolution Gold and the mature bark on them is exquisite!
I like the look of the trunk on yours and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Regards,
Steven
