Myoporum floribundum

Yesterday, during WWombat and CCN's fantastic visit, I pointed out this amazing shrub on our way to look at the frangipani trees on the property and mentally determined to go back after they left to see if I could photograph it well enough to show you its uniqueness.

There are about thirty species in this genus, from China, Japan, Mauritius and New Zealand to Australia, of which sixteen are found in Australia. This one occurs naturally on the coastal ranges of southern NSW and Victoria, up to the Snowy Mountains and the Southern Tableland. It is not particularly common.
This large shrub has long arching branches with pendulous, narrow sticky leaves up to 9cm long. and grow well in full sunlight, but survive frosts down to -8C.  During the flowering season the branches are laden with tiny white to cream flowers.  In full flower the shrub appears to be laden with snow as I have tried to show in my extra. I find it quite dreamy.
