About 20 years ago I came upon a Correa growing in a Maffra garden that really took my eye, being a Correa grower for many years. I asked the owner about the plant and was told it was a plant found by the late Bill Cane, Nurseryman from Maffra, so asked if I could get cuttings from it. Since that time, the original plant had died, so I had the only one of these plants known to exist. Since moving to Maffra 4 years ago, I now have this plant growing in my garden and it is doing well.
Now, the Sale Botanic Gardens is planting a new garden bed in honour of Bill Cane and they'll be planting known plants of Bill Cane. Mitch from Woolenook Nursery in Maffra contacted me about 6 or 7 weeks ago asking for cuttings to grow plants for this garden in Sale.
To say I'm happy would be an understatement
