Just wanted to share this for someone (can't remember who) who commented about flowers on natives. We bought this Prostanthera (sp?) last year and it is just covered in flowers - plus the smell of it is just beautiful:

So I had to share it, to encourage you that there are some beauties out there - and I don't know much, so I'll be pleased to learn of more!

It's a pretty one - so many flowers. Well done

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.

A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

that ones lovely kitty, yes natives can be very under-rated at times but there are so many nice ones too. I think the more you grow them the more you appreciate them as well.

Kitty. I did a small search for Prostanthera sp. I found there are too many to ID yours without more info and more pics.
I checked out 2 species which they advised are threatened species,they were ,
P askania and P junonis .Not much help I'm afraid .Pitta.
