On a bush track not too far away from
here, Correa reflexa grows wild in the bush among the bracken and
undergrowth. This Correa is usually spindly in its wild state, only
growing a few branches, but competing as it grows.
Petal and I were
there last year after a grader had cleaned up the tracks through the
bush. On the side of this particular track, was a seedling Correa which
had been uprooted, so I took it home and planted it near my magpie
feeder. It eventually started to grow and over the year has formed into a
nice compact shrub.
It’s currently flowering, with nice size
red corollas, a typical Correa reflexa. I’m attaching some photos, as this
is a nice form of this plant. You would be very lucky to find a plant with this many flowers on it in the wild.
