This is growing in a north Bris carpark.
I’ve never seen one this colour, it’s much darker that the common pink, nearly a mauvish puce with no yellow throat. The flowers are packed tightly into pompoms.
How beautiful is that! Thanks for sharing BL :)
It’s growing in pretty unfriendly conditions too. I’d love to find out which one it is.

I have 2 of them Bubba. Brother got seed years ago and gave me a couple of seedlings. Mine have been planted for years but we’re still waiting for the first flowers. No assurance that they will be the same as their Mother but I can hope.

If I had the room I’d try some seed but it’d be pretty disappointing to wait all that time and not get what you want.
There’s a couple common pink ones in the same car park so it could easily have cross pollinated.

Do you know where the seed came from? This one’s in the carpark of the shopping centre on Gympie Rd, between Chermside and Aspley, opposite Marchant Park.

Not too sure. I just remember him saying that he got this seed from a tree with bunchy flowers and a much deeper colour than the norm.

It’d be interesting to know if it’s the same one.
