Quick trip up to the big smoke of Cairns yesterday , and could not resist dropping into the oldest and best nursery there , Limberlost in Freshwater . Its been going for 50 years , or close to it . I have seen adverts from the late '50's in old magazines . They always have lots of very well grown plants for reasonable prices . Pots of a Philo, I recognized as pinnatifidum but was called 'Pegasus' Love this plant saw a great clump growing just over the road from the beach . It had split into several growth points and was growing in full sun so was only a little over 1m high . Eventually pried away a sucker as the owner thought it had spread a bit to much . Another ridiculous name was put onto Philo. goeldii when sold here ...'Fun Bun' They sold like hot cakes , the council has used mass plantings in the median stripes . Looks amazing growing between the Hwy on the way to the airport.
I hate it when they do that. There is a mail order nursery here, I won't name them, but they operate in a northern state...they put ridiculous names on everything they sell.
