There is a plant that has what appear to be the right
flowers of Metrosideros growing near an offramp onto
the highway here. It gets no water except from rain,
and it's growing among ice plant.
What's different is while the older leaves are the
deep greenish gray of a usual metrosideros, it seems
to have golden green new growth. It also seems to be
flowering on one side of the plant. I'd like to get a
photo soon, but i was wondering if this is actually
metrosideros or another myrtaceous plant with similar
flowers?
