Raphiolepsis indica 'Pink Parfait'

While I was wandering around with the camera yesterday trying to get a good picture of a leptospermum, I spotted this Raphio.... coming into flower. It's a mound forming bush, apparently to about 80cms, and, according to the label, never needs pruning and covers itself in these semi-double pink flowers, and with a few drops of water (from the hose) on it it's looking very promising.

    Nice colour blooms. Couldn't find too much info, only that it's Indian Hawthorn.

    The flowers look very Leptospermerish. Quite nice.

    A very nice plant Bill and well framed. Was it named after the ice cream or vickie verga ?

    I dunno Chas. Tropi.... yeah, they do look a bit like Leptospermum. And Inga, it is referred to as Indian Hawthorn, as all the raphiolepsis varieties are or seem to be. I've a couple of other varieties here and there, the usual single white flowering bushes. They do put on quite a show and are all appealing.

    To me, they are all very interesting, being on another continent with the summer and winter at oppsite 'ends'.
