The Brookings Garden is small, but interesting...they have a very knowledgeable Garden Club there, all of whom are interested in the unusual...due to the immediate climate there, so much more can be grown than some realize. I also really like the melaleuca squamea. I have a bunch of small melaleuca squarrosa, that to me seem almost identical...and they're growing fast. Thinking I will get half into the ground and keep half in pots for now to see how they respond to the Verticillium Wilt. I'm thinking they may be resistant.....
The Garden is small, but when things are not in flower, they are not noticed much, so I make a habit of stopping there often and then I'm always seeming to see something 'new'.
