Notes:

• Philotheca myoporoides - Long-leaf Wax Flower.
• It's flowering now (2012-07-07) in the Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) Winter.
• In the 18 months I lived here, this is the first flowering, probably because of severe scale infestation in the past, which I scraped off with a sharp knife.
• The flowers are not aromatic but the foliage is.
• Pruning: Nix.
• Feeding: Nix.
