Dirty Old Man Posted August 20, 2005 Not sure what it is. Pictures are too blurred to make out any distinguishing features. Im no expert but from comparing the pics to descriptionson wattleweb it could well be obtusata. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Dunkel Posted August 20, 2005 In what general area of OZ do you live in? Vic NSW? Is it a common planted species in your area, is it indigenous to your area or just a planted native? Some of these questions might help establish what it could be. I'll see if I can find out what it could be, it does look familiar to something growing here in Vic.

Conan Troutman Posted August 21, 2005 Grown in ordinary garden soil SW Vic, I did some work for a native tree nursery few years ago and saved a few 'different' plants from the bin. I really had forgotton about this one until it burst into flower. Tried to positive ID it myself with no luck. Has red/brown stems if thats any help? can post better pics in needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conan Troutman Posted August 21, 2005 Yeh, it does seem to match up with obtusata description (quite variable) but not with pics I can find Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
