Correa 'Marianne' (Correa baeuerlenii x lawrenceana) is sooooo long flowering, sooooo long lived and sooooo pretty and yet is soooo rarely available for sale.
We had one in the garden for about 24 years that was forced into premature death by the installation of a sewerage line.
So long Marianne.

… and yet … et voila !
Welcome back Marianne.
The lovely specimen in the photograph is taken at our place and is about 4 years old.
The flowers have just begun to emerge from a short hibernation and there was a conga line of Honeyeaters circling the plant five minutes before I took this photograph I swear.
Note the young Grevillea ‘Dorothy Gordon’ emerging from behind that should be a pleasing combination.
